Answer:

This line is taken from the play The Merchant of Venice by William Shakespeare, in which a merchant in Venice named Antonio defaults on a large loan provided by Shylock, a Jewish moneylender, written between  1596 and 1599.

This given line from The Merchant of Venice, "And let my liver rather heat with wine Than my heart cool with mortifying groans", is spoken by Gratiano, Antonio's friend. As per the story, Antonio was feeling very sad and he did not know the reason of his sadness.

On conversing with Antonio about the reason of his sadness,  Gratiano mentioned that ​he did rather overload his liver with wine than starve his heart by denying himself fun. It means that Gratiano rather heat his liver by making merry and laughter by drinking wine rather than killing his heart with mortifying groans.
