Hi,
Your liver enzymes are elevated. Not worrisome but you have to find the cause. Alcohol is one of them. You must quite it and repeat liver enzymes after 6-8 weeks.
Meantime you should do :
HBsAg, Anti HCV and to rule out viral hepatitis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
