Explain learned behavioral tolerance

What will be an ideal response?


People can acquire physical and psychological tolerance for the effects of alcohol through regular use. The nervous system adapts over time, so greater amounts of alcohol are required to produce the same physiological and psychological effects. People then learn to modify their behavior so that they appear to be sober even when they are not.
