Thank you for asking!
Your doctor is right. All you need to do is quit drinking. ALT reference range is 20-60 and AST is 10-34 in males and upto 40 in females. Quit drinking. Thats it. Referral is a doctors option. When they think of it right, they will do. You know the problem and evil. Get rid of it by nipping it from the bud.
Take care
