Detailed Answer:
Hi, I am Dr Mittal. I have read your query. I think I would be able to help you.

The fact remains that the improvement of the live enzymes and bilirubin (if affected) depends on the initial levels of the report, the previous duration of consumption of alcohol and ye amount of alcohol intake on an average.

The time to recovery is not an exact science. It's variable from person to person.

In my experience, enzymes that are affected after 1 binge of alcohol can take 2- 3 days. Some regular but low dose users who take alcohol in the appetiser like dose can take 1-2 weeks. Long term abusers can take months to get back to normal.

I have tried to make it as simple as possible. I hope that the information helps you. Please feel free to contact us for more information. Best of luck. Dr Mittal. .
