Hello, devinderadvocate,

The amount of alcohol you drink is more than 4-6 oz. that is supposedly
beneficial to the heart, depending on whether it is red wine or dark beer.
Unfortunately, the longer duration of drinking can have cumulative effect
on the body, especially liver or the heart. The enzyme levels in your case
are mildly elevated and you also have a high cholesterol level. Usually,
this combined with over weight leads to fatty liver. You state that your
fatty liver is Grade II. This is not very good unless you really take care
of it seriously. This can revert back to normal with proper measures.
Number one on the list is to stop drinking, which you have and I applaud
you for that. Next you need a high protein diet along with vitamins.
I recommend a super B-Complex Vitamin daily along with Vit-E 800 i.u. daily
and Vit-C 1000 mg. daily. Avoid high fatty foods and fried foods. Fresh fruits
and fresh vegetables are good.
After you follow these steps, in about three months your blood tests should
improve. Also, try to lose some weight if you are over. Regular excercise , three
times a week is good. If you need to take medication to lower the cholesterol, check
with your doctor.
I wish you the very best of health.
