Tolerance is a person’s ability to hide the signs of impairment. Usually, the more alcohol a person consumes, the more signs of impairment they exhibit. However, a person who drinks frequently or heavily may develop a high tolerance to alcohol, in which case they may not show the normal signs of impairment as quickly as other guests.
KEY FACT:
Tolerance does not mean that the guest is not intoxicated. Chronic alcohol users can have twice the tolerance for alcohol as an average person.
