When Will Enzyme Levels Reduce After Light Drinking?
I have elevated liver enzymes which my GP believes is due to alcohol N.B I drink white wine everyday. I have been advised to stop for 2 months and then revert to light drinking with 2 alcohol free days. When can I expect the enzymes to start coming down?

Dear Friend.
Welcome to HCM.
Alcohol intake can cause fatty Liver and Alcoholic hepatitis.
I would not advise you to consume alcohol.
Also i would advise you to get :
1. Ultrasound Abdomen.
2. LFT
3. Lipid profile.
With abstinence of alcohol , your liver enzyme would start to fall with in a week.
Review with reports.
Stay Healthy
