Will The Liver Enzyme Test Be High Even Though Hep-c Is Cured?

I was cured of hep-c, (no detectable virus after only 4 weeks on triple drug therapy) Its now 3 months latter and time to get blood test to see the hep-c has returned or is SVR12. The last couple of months I have drinking moderately (a couple times a week). I know, bad bad and dumb. Are liver enzyme test going to be high even if the hep-c has not returned? How mad is Dr. going be at me?
