Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
After going through your history, you have just recovered from typhoid and your liver function were also deranged.
You should understand that alcohol is not good for health and liver so it is advisable not to take alcohol.
Because acute alcohol intoxication can cause gastritis and can affect the liver and heart also.
If everything has come to normal and you want to go for it then one must consume in moderation that is not more than 60 ml.
It is my sincere advise that please do not take alcohol.
Please take care.
Good Luck.
Dr.Akhilesh Dubey M.D.
