Sure, when hornets do it it's "amazing" and "fascinating," but when I do it I "have a problem" and "am the worst teacher in this school."

I guess, at the end of the day, their circulatory system does still do the same job of transporting nutrients to cells, so it makes sense that it would also transport alcohol to nerve cells.
