Okay, but specifically...how much do we see him drinking? Was it just beer?
What I'm getting at is he could have a resistance as opposed to an immunity. Compare this to Barry doing 8-10 shots in a couple of seconds and not feeling a thing. Which sounds a lot more impressive than if Cap just tried to drown his sorrows for several hours and found himself still sober by the end.
Nah, it was a bottle of something else. Looked like hard liquor. Unfortunately we don't actually see how long he was there, but, based on how the scene was framed, it appears to have been a while.
He was also able to drink a bit of Thor's 1000-year-old booze during the party scene in Age of Ultron without being visibly affected. Granted, it was only a small amount.

That was a special kind of booze.
Seems when it comes to normal booze Barry has better feats, but that both men can be impacted by special booze.
I've given this some amount of (serious) thought and have decided I'm going to back Rogers.
Flash has better feats as far as drinking more quantity, but Cap has better feats of drinking otherwordly brew and handling it pretty well. Talking about Thor's 1000 year old liquor of course, the one which comatosed those veterans with a few drops while Cap was still perfectly fine and even fighting minutes later.
Seeing as this is Thor's beer, I'd trust Cap's feats more than Barry's.

Well, to be fair, Caitlin and Cisco had about 3 years to refine the drink that eventually got Barry properly buzzed in S4. And they could literally tailor the drink to him. Their initial attempt at speedster super alcohol in S1 only affected Barry for a few seconds.
