What is tolerance to alcohol?

The legal limit of alcohol consumption set by law
The body's ability to enjoy different types of alcohol
The body's ability to adapt to toxic substances like alcohol
A measurement of alcohol concentration in beverages

The correct answer is: The body's ability to adapt to toxic substances like alcohol

Tolerance to alcohol is the body's ability to adapt to toxic substances like alcohol, meaning the body becomes less sensitive to its effects over time. Option A is incorrect because the legal limit of alcohol consumption varies by location and can also depend on a person's weight, age, and other factors. Option B is incorrect because tolerance to alcohol does not necessarily mean enjoying it more, but rather being able to consume larger amounts without feeling its effects. Option D is incorrect because while alcohol concentration is important in determining the strength of a beverage, it is not the same as tolerance. It is important to understand that tolerance to alcohol is not a desirable trait, as it can lead to increased alcohol consumption and potential negative health consequences.
