How easy is it to build a benzo tolerance

Well I've got a pretty much unlimited supply of 1mg Xanax pills, and I started off taking 2mg and that got me nice and high especially with a few beers, it's only been a week and I've been doing them only every other day and I'm now I can tolerate 5mg along with a significant amount of alcohol (8+ drinks). I'm worried that I'll be up to 10mg or something in no time. What's a good pace to go at in order to keep your tolerance at a reasonable level. I must say that 5mg and 8 alcoholic beverages put me in a nice place, I wouldn't go for more than that yet.
 
IMO, tolerance builds up slowly. Besides the high, that's the only good thing I'll say about benxos.
 
it all depends on you, how often and hw ,much your taking. Just stay at a steady dose of benzo's and drink ,more alcohol...cause it's really easy to "trick" yourself into thinking you need more with bonzo's

There is no specific number here, you answered your own question - you have been taking too much, you're resistant, and need to just lay off..
You can taper if you feel the need...
