Hello and thank you for asking HCM.

-According to your liver function test, your liver is working like a charm. No problems at all in this test.

-According to your drinking,it depends on the amount of alcohol that you have these 2 times each week and the type of alcohol. Having 1 glass of red wine 2 or 3 times a week,protects your heart. The alcohol and certain substances in red wine called antioxidants may help prevent coronary artery disease, the condition that leads to heart attacks. I would disagree for the other types of alcohol.

If i was your caring doctor,i would suggest to not drink 2 times each week and have this diet in order to help your liver clean itself from the accumulated fat. I am not saying to not have a beer once in a while,but you need to reduce the amount of alcohol as much as you can at least till your liver is out of fat.
-A healthy diet. Choose a healthy plant-based diet that's rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains and healthy fats.
-Lose weight. If you're overweight or obese, reduce the number of calories you eat each day and increase your physical activity in order to lose weight.
-Exercise and be more active. Try to have a run for 30 minutes 2 or 3 times each week.
-if you have diabetes,try to control it as much as you can.

If you have any other question,feel free to contact me.
