Relationship between level of response to alcohol and acute tolerance

CONCLUSION: These data do not support a role of acute tolerance in the low LR to alcohol as measured by subjective feelings of intoxication or body sway in these subjects, findings that were similar across males and females. In addition, consistent with the literature, the analyses demonstrated differences in acute tolerance across measures such that this phenomenon was observed for most measures of subjective effects but not for body sway. Among the subjective effects, acute tolerance was observed for alcohol's intoxicating effect but not for feeling sleepy.PMID:34086362 | DOI:10.1111/acer.14642
