Tolerance: GABA

In your brain, the structure of GABA receptors gradually changes, making them less sensitive to alcohol. Alcohol now has more difficulty binding to the receptors.

As a result, the receptors transmit fewer inhibitory signals, and you have to drink more and more alcohol to get back that calm, relaxed feeling.
