Which is a consequence of an individual having high tolerance for alcohol?

Incorrect answers:

- Less likely to get a hangover

Tolerance to alcohol does not mean that one is less likely to experience hangovers. Drinking excessive amount of alcohol can lead to various negative consequences including hangovers, regardless of one's tolerance level.

- No side effects

Alcohol still has many side effects, including impaired coordination, slurred speech, and increased risk of accidents and health problems, even for those with a high tolerance.

- Reduced risk of addiction

In fact, developing a high tolerance to alcohol can increase the risk of addiction, as individuals need to consume more and more alcohol to achieve the desired effects.

Correct Answer:

- Increased risk of alcohol dependence and addiction

Having a high tolerance to alcohol means that a person can consume larger amounts without feeling intoxicated, which can lead to a cycle of increasing consumption to achieve the desired effects. This can result in dependence and addiction, as well as a variety of health and social problems.
