Does Drinking Alcohol Vary The Liver Test Results?
did a liver function test , two days after heavy drinkin, my SGOT is 54 , SGPT 79 an GGT is 97. could this be a temporary spike ? every other entry in the liver function test is in the normal range. I typically drink twice a month - 3-4 drinks. i could have 3-4 nights a year where that could go up to 6-9 drinks.

Hello,
Some people have genetic structure in such a way that low alcohol also cause liver changes like non smokers some times also develop lung cancers.
It may be due to some other reasons also like drugs, infections etc.
So for prevention of damage to liver, decrease or stop alcohol.
Now it is possible to quit any habit.
For that consult your psychiatrist.
take care...
