Tolerance in addiction refers to the need for a person to consume increasing amounts of a substance to achieve the same effect they previously experienced with lower doses. This can signify the body's adaptation to the substance, which may require higher doses to produce the desired effect.

What shift from periodic social drinking to substance abuse evolves to meet a person's need for?
Periodic social drinking can evolve into substance abuse as the individual turns to the substance to meet emotional or psychological needs, such as stress relief or coping with difficult emotions. This can lead to a cycle of increasing use as tolerance builds and the individual relies on the substance more and more to fulfill those needs.
Can Tolerance can cause an overdose?
Tricky question: directly? No. Indirectly? Yes. Tolerance to a drug or substance occurs when the body adapts to regular doses and results in more of the drug or substance being required to achieve the same effect. So a regular drug or substance user may be able to take higher doses without overdosing. (Although tolerance won't prevent overdoses where the strength of the drug has increased without the user's knowledge and they don't lower the dose or from users making excessively large dose increases.) But, many overdoses occur when users have a lowered tolerance to the drug or substance. This most often occurs when the user stops using for a period of time and then resumes using again with the same dose. As their tolerence has decreased, their previous safe dose can be too much and result in overdose. This is the cause of a large number of heroin overdoses: users stop for a while then use the same amount they previously could handle. If someone hasn't used a drug or substance for any length of time, they should always use a smaller amount to reduce their chance of overdose.
