Alcohol Tolerance

How does building up alcohol tolerance work? The more consistently you drink alcohol the more tolerance you build to it, so over a long time it will take more alcohol to get you drunk. Just curious how this works.

Alot like any other the drug. Body and brain get used to this new influx of chemicals, and produce neurotransmitters and enzymes accordingly.

It’s why after so long some people get addicted, they created a new “normal” of neurotransmitter levels in the brain that needs to be maintained or else they get sick.
