He has mildly elevated liver enzymes and very high triglycerides levels. So there is no serious liver damage but it doesnt mean that he shouldnt stop drinking... Liver ultrasound can be done as well. He should definitely change his diet and use some of antilipemic drugs (statins). Also watch out for hypertension , smoking and adiposity.
