high tolerance
Handles a lot
High tolerance describes the ability to withstand large amounts of something without significant effect.
Most often it refers to substances: someone with a high tolerance for alcohol needs more drinks to feel intoxicated.
The phrase extends to pain, discomfort, or annoyance: She has a high tolerance for chaos.
In pharmacology, high tolerance develops when repeated exposure reduces a drug's effectiveness, requiring larger doses.
