Metabolic tolerance is characterized by an increase in P450 liver microsomal enzymes, which results in the faster metabolism of alcohol and a decreased response to its effects over time. Acute tolerance refers to a rapid decrease in response to alcohol within a single drinking session, pharmacodynamic tolerance is caused by changes in the brain's sensitivity to alcohol, and behavioral tolerance is the result of learned adaptations to the effects of alcohol.
