Brief Answer:
Answer given below

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for uploading the liver function test results.
It looks like he has alcoholic hepatitis.
He needs medical attention and has to consult a Gastroenterologist/Hepatologist
The most important step in the treatment is abstinence from alcohol.
If he is very much addicted and not able to quit drinking, a psychiatrist's help may be sought for deaddiction.
For treatment of alcoholic hepatitis, few more tests are to be done that include PT/INR, USG abdomen etc.
He can continue taking Ulyses and Silymarin till he consults a Gastroenterologist/Hepatologist.
Regards,
Dr.R.K.
