Question: When assessing a patron for signs of intoxication, what is a key concept to remember about 'tolerance'?

Answer options:

  • Tolerance means a person will never become intoxicated. ✅ Tolerance allows a person to consume more alcohol without showing obvious signs, but their BAC can still be high.
  • Tolerance makes a person less susceptible to the long-term health effects of alcohol.
  • Tolerance is a temporary state that disappears after a few hours.

Correct answer: Tolerance allows a person to consume more alcohol without showing obvious signs, but their BAC can still be high.

Explanation: Tolerance means an individual can consume more alcohol before showing visible signs of intoxication, but their Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) can still be high. This makes assessment challenging, as a person might 'look' sober but still be legally impaired or dangerous. Alcohol's effects on the body still occur even with high tolerance. Tolerance does not prevent intoxication or long-term health risks, and it is a more chronic state, not temporary after a few hours.
