Which of the following is an example of learned tolerance?

A
avoiding alcohol when feeling unsteady
B
drinking alcohol only with food
C
walking a straight line when intoxicated
D
not driving when drunk
High-Yield Explanation
Learned tolerance refers to the reduction of the effect of a drug due to compensatory mechanisms that are learned. An example is walking a straight line despite the motor impairment caused by alcohol. This likely represents both acquisition of motor skills and the learned awareness of one's deficit; thus the person walks more carefully.
