Well, I'd be careful in saying that booze:liver as THC:brain. They both act on the brain and both have a neurological basis for tolerance.
An alcoholic's liver will up regulate enzymes to speed the metabolism of alcohol, but their brain chemistry will also change just as a weed-smoker's. Just as smokers up regulate cannabinoid receptors, alcoholics up regulate GABA (both among others). When alcoholics go through withdrawal, they can die of seizures caused by their brain having too many GABA receptors to properly function without the presence of alcohol.

I was in a weed shop in Seattle recently. They had THC % written on the bottle. If I was used to smoking I assume I could treat that number like ABV. Like 2 pints of 6% ABV and I’m gonna be past driving.
Maybe a series of bags would be better. Like with coffee, you have espressos and shots and the like. You can adjust your tolerance fairly knowably and overdoing isn't a catastrophe. But I think the american palette is such that you need a serious foodstuff/snack in size. One gummy bear isn't 'enough' food, you need a bag of them. You can use a rookie-cookie, but sell them in 3 packs or really big discus-like sizes. People want some heft/size and they don't want to leave a half bag to go stale. Then up the dosages in a series. Red packaging is rookie, Orange is a long movie, Yellow is a half day, Lime is enough for a day'trip', Green is a 3-day weekend, etc. Price them all the same so that way it's about the dosage, not the costs.
Find a way to get a stressed out soccer-mom to eat these weed bon-bons like drinking a Cosmo, something instagram-able and dose-able.
