[header] How to improve your alcohol tolerance [title] Know the difference between alcohol tolerance and dependence. [step] Although there is a relationship between alcohol tolerance and dependence, they are not the same thing. A person can increase their alcohol tolerance without becoming dependent, though having too high an alcohol tolerance likely means you are also dependent.
[substeps] Tolerance means that your body adapts to the consumption of a specific amount of alcohol, even in amounts such as one beer or one glass of wine. Dependence means that you consistently and compulsively consume alcohol and need it to function, a dangerous state you want to avoid.
