Well, there might be a leak that you can't see in plain sight, some leaks can come from holes the size of a pin in the the rad hoses... how's your car running? Any loss of power? Overheating really quickly?
Can you smell antifreeze when the car is running? Inside or outside the car? How does your exhaust smell? > don't go taking deep breaths of it, but does it smell sweet? Is your exhaust white?
If you can smell antifreeze while it's running, but only inside the car, I'd check the heater core. Maybe you have a bad water pump.
If your problem is really bad (car runs **** poor, overheats very quickly, etc) then you may need have a look at the head gasket.. there's only a few reasons as to why a car will burn coolant, and none of them are very good for the car.
How many miles are on the motor or how long have you had it for? Did you have any recent work done to it?

you cant burn coolant... it might evaporate by overheating and creating steam which in turn could cause it to boil over, or you got a leak somewhere.

Any smoke from the exhaust?
