“I'm a lightweight.”

A lightweight

You're talking with a friend about your drinking habits. Your friend drinks almost every day, but you don't drink much at all because you get drunk easily off of just one glass of wine. You want to describe this, so you say:

I'm a lightweight.

a lightweight

A "lightweight" is someone who gets drunk easily.

The opposite of "a lightweight" is someone who "can hold their liquor".
