Answer: They have a higher tolerance for alcohol.

Explanation:

The consumer initially needed a smaller amount of alcohol to achieve the desired effect. Over time, the body developed a higher tolerance for alcohol and therefore needed more beer to achieve the desired result. This does not imply that he would need more and more beer from year to year because the organism has a specific limit to which it tolerates.
