Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
You have Alcohol liver disease that is why mild increase in liver enzymes is there that is most likely cause in your case.
You should consult a Physician/Gastroenterologist he/she will evaluate you and if required other enzymes GGT,S.Lipase and S.Amylase may have to be done and Upper G.I endoscopy to see condition of stomach and dudenum.This would let us know if you have Pancreas,liver and any ulcer problem.
Depending on result you will be advised prescription treatment Please stop alcohol completely and do not take self medications.
Take care
Best of Luck.

Hello, welcome to HCM, I am Dr. Das.
Firstly, you have to avoid alcohol. If you experience any withdrawal symptoms, you should consult with your treating doctor for prescribing a sedative agent.
So, try to quit alcohol. Otherwise, you will get in big trouble.
