Should I Be Concerned For The High ALT And SGPT Levels?

I am a 36 year old male, my ASt Sgot was normal 33, but my ALT SGPT was high at 52. I had consumed alcohol in the previous 36 hours but not excessively and I am 30-40 lbs over weight. My doctor said it could be a number of things, but mentioned hepatitis. Frankly I am freaking out and my retest isn't for 3 weeks. Do those results seem high? Could it just be because I am overweight?
