Brief Answer:
Alcoholic Liver Disease is a possibility.

Detailed Answer:
Welcome back.
If you consume alcohol, then probably this rise is alcohol induced.
I would advise you to get serious and stop alcohol consumption with immediate effects. Take it as a warning sign.
I also recommend you following investigations if not done:
1. Ultrasound Abdomen.
2. Viral Markers.
Once you stop alcohol, these enzymes will get back to normal state.
But if you continue to consume alcohol, you might land into Liver cirrhosis.
I have told you the facts
Now choice is yours.
No Medicine actually helps in this. Stopping alcohol consumption is the best way out.
If you have any further query please ask me.
