Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tolerance to alcohol means that a person needs more alcohol to feel the same effects as they used to. This is because the body has adapted to the alcohol and the same amount no longer has the same impact. It does not necessarily mean that the person is dependent on alcohol, experiences withdrawal symptoms, or only "wants" but does not "like" alcohol.
