Brief Answer:
Yes mostly alcohol is the cause
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic .
Though your increase in SGPT is mild but the cause is most likely alcohol. Alcohol can damage the liver and increase in SGPT is initial step. This will become normal once you quit drinking.
I suggest you to stop drinking for one month and take liv52 till then and repeat liver function test again. If it has become normal then reduce drinking or better quit drinking. If there is no change then other causes of raised SGPT needs to be ruled out.
Hope I have answered your query.If any further queries are there I would love to help .
