Does it mean something particular? I is in here.
Yeah, I answered that stupid ad and showed up to the cocktail party dressed to kill. In a dress, you moron. I didn't get this nearly-naked stocking until after the party. Look, I can hold my liquor, but my hors d'oeuvres? That's another story. One bad weenie and pow! Out like a light. When I wake up, that's all I can remember: the party and the ad. Nocturnal missions indeed. If I had known I was going to have to knock off the heads of industrialized states, I wouldn't have worn heels.

Gli alcolici li reggo, ma gli antipasti e' tutta un'altra storia!
Il contesto aiuta molto; weenie allora e' il wurstel, con cui si fanno diversi antipasti in America. "Basta un wurstel e crollo, come un ciocco. E quando mi sveglio ricordo solo la festa..."

"Posso reggere i liquori, ma gli antipasti?
Nel contesto e' spiegato che la personba coinvolta non si e' sentita male per quanto yha bevuto, ma per aver mangiato un antipasto probabilmmente avariato.

senti, posso trattenere le bevande, ma le pietanze?
forse si può tradurre meglio, ma ho l'impressione che parli del riuscire a trattenere i liquidi, ma che possa scoppiare un bisogno irrefrenabile di andare in bagno. Questa è l'impressione che ho, think about it!
