Your liver levels arn't very high but they are too high. If you already have fatty liver and continue to abuse it with any amount of alcohol the fatty and inflamed liver will eventually become a fibrotic and potentially eventually cirrhotic.

You are obviously concerned enough to post but you know the only way to help your liver get better is to quit drinking.

Your 'habit' probably isn't heavy enough to require weaning. Any alcohol from now on is like throwing petrol on a bonfire. It's your life and your choice but just having nursed my husband to almost the brink of death and liver transplant just in the nick of time I can tell you it is something to avoid at all cost - his wasn't lifestyle related so there was nothing he could do to stop deterioration.

I had a transplant to. My liver wasn't due to drinking either. May I AK is your husband doing well. I'm very healthy now ,just so many weird things in my body changes. Dry skin, like sweets never did before. Just a bunch of little things. Does this happen to him? I'd live to know. Good luck and Thank you so much
