Different kinds of people can hold a certain amount of alcohol. "Lightweight" people can't contain that much alcohol without getting drunk. And then there's other people who can drink like, a bunch of cans and NOT get drunk yet so they can "hold their own". I hope I helped.

Being a 'lightweight' means that it doesn't take much alcohol to get you drunk, for example, you pass out after one or two beers. If you can 'hold your own' then it takes a lot to get you drunk, pretty much the opposite of a lightweight.

It refers to your body's alcohol tolerance before you become enebriated.
If you can drink what is considered a large quantity of alcohol without becoming excessively enebriated, you are considered able to hold your own. If, on the other hand, you can drink maybe one or two vodkas and are enebriated after that alone, you are often considered a 'lightweight'.
