Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tolerance refers to the decreased sensitivity to a drug's effects that occurs with repeated use, leading to a need for higher doses to achieve the same effect. This is what is happening to Jon, as he now needs five or six drinks to feel the same level of intoxication that used to require only two drinks. Withdrawal, addiction, and dependence are different concepts that may or may not apply to Jon's situation.
