Sorry, it's really tough to show a bar room brawl effectively with miniature figures...
The sentence is a simple extension of "How much have you had to drink?" I'd never write "How much has you had to drink?"
I must have had some sort of grammar fade at the time.
EDIT: Thank you to the dozens, the multiple dozens, of people who wrote to tell me that I got it right in the comic and that my re-run musing about how I'd stuffed up the grammar was in fact itself stuffed up. The subject of the verb is "each of you", not "you", so it's a third person singular noun, not a second person singular or plural. The correct analogy here is "How much has Draak had to drink?" not "How much has you had to drink?"
I should learn my lesson and not think about grammar too hard, lest correct things start sounding wrong.
