Hello Do not worry

Hi
Welcome to HCM
Thank you for your query
I understand your concern
Possibly you have liver swelling or hepatitis due to alcohol intake.
Need to completely stop alcohol intake till your liver function normalize completely
In addition worthwhile getting yourself evaluated for hepatitis b and hepatitis c to look for other causes.
Avoid any hepatotoxic medication like painkillers if any.
Worthwhile getting an ultrasound done to look for other liver pathology and signs of permanent liver damage.
Keep monitoring your liver function tests weekly
Hope this answers your questions

Well yes you need to do the tests adviced
Raised alp could be due to liver inflammation or infiltration. But since ultrasound is normal, I will suggest you repeat test after 5days.
Cholesterol rise could be your diet lifestyle related
No medication now.
