Why the liver?

"Quite a gathering of the clans. More trouble eh? . . . I wish your friends, Inspector, would choose a more respectable hour for their little differences. This early rising upsets my liver."

(Philo Vance, in The "Canary" Murder Case. I understand that getting up early might be unpleasant to him, but I fail to see how it would affect one's liver.)
