Brief Answer:
alcohol consumption?

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

gGT increase is usually associated with alcohol consumption. Other potential causes include drug toxicity (including supplements), autoimmune disorders and structural disorders (like tumors). Isolated gGT increase is usually alcohol or drug related only... If you do drink frequently, you should cut back on alcohol.

I hope it helps!
Kind Regards!
