Most people are aware of the well-known dangers of alcohol misuse, such as liver disease, cardiovascular issues, or even accidents and injuries born out of misadventure and poor judgment. The consequences of drinking alcohol frequently and above the recommended weekly units are widely reported, also including an increased risk of cancers, mental health disorders, nutritional deficiencies, and reduced immune function.

But most people are unaware of the sheer number of illnesses and disorders that are a direct result of too much alcohol consumption, which are officially in excess of 200 known conditions.

Drug tolerance definition is sometimes misunderstood, as the nature and development of the phenomena are quite complicated. Drug tolerance occurs due to prolonged consumption of medication: sedatives, stimulants, or painkillers.

After continuous intake of a prescription or recreational drug at a certain dose, a person's reaction to it dulls.

People who experience drug tolerance tend to misuse it and develop dependence which is followed by drug addiction.

Developing drug tolerance takes you a step closer to addiction and needing a drug use rebab program such the one we provide here in Thailand - regardless if the drug in question is a prescribed medication, or one bought on the streets.
