Do People Who Drink Heavily Have a Higher Tolerance for Alcohol? It Depends, Study Finds
People who have a pattern of heavy drinking showed less impairment than light drinkers after drinking similar amounts of alcohol — yet this difference depends largely on how much time has elapsed after drinking and may only be evident at moderate intoxication.
