ability to drink beer ?

Hi teachers,

If I want to ask about a person's ability to drink beer or brandy ( i.e. how many cans of beer or how many bottles of brandy he or she can drink at a party) can I say :

What is your /his/her drinking capacity ?

Please kindly correct it

Thanks in advance

Hi,

The simplest thing is probably to ask

'How much beer can you drink?'

'How much brandy can you drink?'

Or just 'How much can you drink?'

I think another typical question would be this:

'How much beer/brandy can you handle?'

Also: how [well] do you hold your liquor?
