When a person develops tolerance for alcohol, they require increasingly larger amounts of alcohol to achieve the same effects that smaller amounts once produced.

As tolerance builds, individuals may also experience a heightened risk of alcohol dependence and other negative health effects. Ultimately, tolerance can lead to more significant consumption and potential alcohol-related problems.
