- heywoodlh 4y agoThis is an interesting link! If I understand it right, does the hormesis response in relation to alcohol mean that building tolerance to alcohol may improve one's tolerances to other toxins?
- hgomersall 4y agoI think it's more that the repair mechanisms that are triggered by damage (from say, alcohol) tend to over-compensate. The net effect is that low level stress is necessary to keep the repair system maintaining everything properly. I'm not an expert though.
