Thank you for your question
Alcohol intake cause acute liver damage by fatty changes.
This causes the liver enzymes to be raised especially GGT
stoping the alcohol will normalize the enzymes
The rest of the liver enzymes are normal in most of cases but may be abnormal if there is more damage to the liver.
Follow the liver tests and see how it will be in the next one week if still raised without taking alcohol. then need to see doctor for further tests.
