Hi,

Thanks for posting your query.

Kindly mention your all blood reports in detail.

Heavy alcohol intake generally affect liver and cause deranements of liver function test.

Heavy alcohol intake may cause rise in SGOT (AST) & SGPT (ALT) and generally in range of 400-500IU/L.

You should consult with your GP and get your ultrasound imaging study of liver.

If alcohol affects your liver and causing "fatty liver" & "Alcoholic hepatitis" then there is high chances of reversion.

For getting your license again, you should stop taking alcohol and take liver protective medicine on written prescription by your GP.

Put your query if you have.

Best regards,

Dr.Mayank Bhargava
