Brief Answer:
You need to do further examinations.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for using HCM.
Alcohol may be one of the causes of high level of SGOT and SGPT, but this happens usually after a chronic consumption. So I don't think that two bottles of beer may have caused this high levels of SGOT, SGPT.
Is necessary to make further laboratory tests to exclude viral infections (Hepatitis B, C), autoimmune disorders, or fatty liver disease.
You have to make a liver ultrasound also , to see it's structure and dimensions in way to reach a more accurate diagnosis.

Meanwhile do not consume alcohol and don't use medications that may harm liver such as paracetamol, nitrofurantoine (antibiotic) , augmentin (antibiotic).


Hope this is helpful.
