"I've become/gotten weaker with alcohol" sounds like "I drank alcohol, and now my muscles are weak".
If you used to be able to drink a lot of alcohol and not get intoxicated, but now that isn't true:
I've gotten bad at holding my liquor.
I can't hold my liquor like I used to.
I'm not as tolerant of alcohol as I was before.
My alcohol tolerance is worse than it used to be.
