I Had An ALT Test Performed 40 Hours After Consuming

I had an ALT test performed 40 hours after consuming alcohol and the test returned elevated ALT levels. I had taken 30 days off of alcohol. I'm curious how long can consuming alcohol affect ALT levels? Is alcohol consumption the likely culprit here, or should I look into getting more tests done?
