True. People with high tolerance tend to drink more to feel the same effects as others who consume less, increasing their risk of addiction and long-term health complications

Based on related reporting. This does not summarize the original publisher’s reasoning.
Related reporting lists citing a high tolerance or saying alcohol does not affect you like other people as signs of problematic drinking. This supports treating high tolerance as a warning sign, but the excerpt does not address addiction risk or long-term health effects.[S4]
