Tolerance is a phenomenon where an individual becomes less responsive to the effects of a substance (in this case alcohol) over time with repeated use. This means that the individual needs higher doses of the substance to achieve the same effects that were initially achieved with lower doses. In Kenny's case, he had to drink three beers in an hour to obtain the same mind-altering effects that he got from one or two beers earlier, which is indicative of developing tolerance to alcohol.
