I have a strong tolerance for, and enjoyment of , spicy and bitter flavours. I drink for much needed disinhibition ... drinking moves me towards normal, rather than drunk. My favourite nipples are IPA and Belgian Ales (used to live there). The lack of a sweet tooth corresponding to a fondness for bitter flavours seems to be doing good things for my weight.
Why do you call it a tolerance? How do you know you have a tolerance? Surely you should just have a "taste preference"?
Are you saying that you can still taste how bitter something is and also be willing to eat it and actively choose to eat it more often?
Some people can't tolerate the stuff I drink.
