What is the difference between high tolerance with alcohol and immune to side effects of alcohol?This is Calvin. Being immune to the side effects of alcohol (from beer, wine, or liquor) is somewhat similar to having high tolerance with alcoholic beverages.
Both don't have exactly the same definition. What is the difference between being immune to it and having high tolerance?
This is a retortical question. And the reason i asked this question was to see what you think about it. Here is the following question: Would you want to be immune to the side effects of alcohol (if you have a chance and there is such advanced techology)?
I am not trying to ask a silly question. Please don't say that my questions are lame and that I am ignorant or that I am crazy. Just to see what you think.

No, high tolerance and immunity from side effects are two entirely different things.
"High tolerance" means someone can drink a great deal without appearing to be drunk or tipsy. If someone acts sober after consuming a lot of alcohol (he "knows how to hold his liquor") then this is high tolerance.
Rarely, there are people who NEVER have hangovers -- such a personj is immune to the sife effects of alcohol. VERY rarely, ther are people who can drink heavily wtihout any liver damage, so they are immune to another side-effect of alcohol. These immunities have nothing to do with whether that person "holds their liquor" and acts sober.

Hight tolerance for alcohol means that you can consume larger amounts before you feel or act drunk but you evetually get there.
immune to the side effects of alcohol means that one is immune to the symptoms usually associated with drunkneness.
