It's good to note that tolerance to alcohol is bad. It means your body has been damaged and is no longer responding to alcohol as it once did, to protect your organs.

edit: I should also note tolerance to alcohol is a warning that much greater problems are imminent. It is a red flag.

I take it is a red flag concerning addiction and its consequences, but did you have other specific "greater problems " in mind? Just out of curiosity...

Greater problems is not what I have in mind it's biology. Such things as fatty liver and then cirrhosis. Alcohol tolerance is just the tip of that iceberg. The phrase "alcohol tolerance" belies its powerful meaning.
