I am going to use the affirmative to make it easier.
"He drank a little." This could mean several things. "He drank a little bit." (quantity) "He drank infrequently." (frequency)
"He drank little." This would only refer to frequency--implying that he did not drink often.

There is no difference because, "No, he drank little" doesn't make sense, so I would say "No, he only drank a little".
