Drinking Memes

Evolution really outdid itself with this one. Your liver: a massive 3-pound detoxifying beast. Your heart: a modest 11-ounce pump. Clearly, natural selection had its priorities straight—ensuring humans could process alcohol rather than, you know, feelings . The liver can regenerate up to 70% of itself when damaged, which is nature basically saying "Go ahead, have another round, I've prepared for your poor decisions." Meanwhile, your heart gets one coronary artery blocked and throws the ultimate tantrum. Of course, using organ size to justify drinking habits is like using brain size to justify intelligence—delightfully flawed logic that only makes sense after your fifth beer. But who am I to argue with "science"?

Behold! Your body is basically making anatomical arguments for happy hour! The liver—that magnificent chemical processing plant—is roughly 3 times larger than your heart for a REASON, people! Evolution didn't give us that glorious detoxifying organ just for show. It's practically SCREAMING at us to enjoy that extra glass of wine! Of course, my fellow science enthusiasts, this is what we call "hilariously flawed logic" in the research community. Your liver is bigger because it's doing about 500 different jobs while your heart has ONE job: don't stop. But let's not let actual hepatology ruin a perfectly good excuse for tequila Tuesday!
