Dear Madam,
Welcome to Health Care Magic. I read your query and I understand your concern.
I think that there is not any problem with your
liver enzymes if you drink only on special occasions. You do not mention what kind of alcoholic beverage did you take, since different beverages contain different percentage of alcohol.
I ensure you that your liver enzymes are just slightly elevated or not elevated at all for the amount of alcohol you took just in one special occasion. Liver Enzymes are normally elevated in
binge drinking or chronic drinkers. Alcohol, to be more specific
ethanol - the active ingredient, damages liver cells and spills the liver enzymes in the blood flow when is consumed in large amounts and regularly.
Alcohol doesn't have just negative effects on your health, on the contrary, taking in consideration your age, I would recommend you consume 1 oz of ethanol, or 1 glass of wine a week, in order to help maintenance of
cholesterol balance in your blood.
Hope I answered to your question. For further concerns or follow up questions, feel free to ask again.
Kind Regards,
Dr. Ina
