Can Elevated Alcohol Intake Result In AST 47 And ALT 30 In A Healthy Female?

My AST is 47 and my ALT is 30 I am female and very healthy (runner, go to gym, do light weights)
This blood test was after the winter holiday and a Vegas trip. I was drinking at least 2 glasses of wine a day sometimes more. I weigh about 125 lbs.
My doctor ordered another blood test for these in about two weeks.
Could it be alcohol related?
Why 47?

hi, This is mild high, there is no need to worry, it may be increase due to various causes like-- any drugs, infection, alcohol, or fatty liver
GGT test can help you in this matter.
There is no need to worry, this is not very high, no need for any treatment,
Just find out the cause by ultrasound and some blood test including GGT.
Hope this will help
