"I'm not able to drink too much liquor."
Otherwise it depends on the reason you are not able to drink it, or the reason that you are explaining this.
"If I drink too much liquour, I turn into a raging maniac."
"I can't hold my alcohol."
"I'm can't drink much, because I have to drive."
"I can't drink too much liquour, because after three drinks, I'm unconscious under the table."
"I'm a bad drinker" isn't colloquial.

No, Boris. "I'm teetotal" means "I choose not to drink alcohol at all".
In BrE, you can say "I'm a lightweight" or "I'm a cheap date" to show that you get drunk after just a couple of alcoholic drinks.
