Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
After going through your history you have severe Dyslipidemia which could be resistant. You should stop alcohol as it causes liver dysfunction.
Your dyslipidemia could be familial or genetic but you need to take care of diet taking fats not more than 30% calories of total calories and saturated fats should be Avoid fried food, butter, animal fats and take fresh fruits and green vegetables.
You should visit Physician or good hospital to examine and give treatment if necessary hospitalization may be required.
You may need Statins and fenofibrate combination therapy along with diet and periodic check up of Lipid profile.
Taking regular alcohol has many other detrimental effects so please stop it as soon as possible.
Take care.
Good Luck.
