re: Liver Enzyme and alcohol usage question

With 3 days off and assuming you’re accurately self reporting on alcohol consumption, that’s way too high.
Most recently, had a routine lab (diabetic so I get these every few months) coming off of a vacation where I drank every day (6-10 drinks for a week straight if I’m being honest, and 1-2 days probably in excess of that), including 3 beers the day before labs on a long layover ... and 15 and 37 on liver enzymes.
Did you overconsume sugars/simple carbs prior to labs? From a roundabout point of view sugars/alcohols impact the liver similarly.
In both cases, alcohol (since the body is managing acetic acid concentration) and sugar/simply carb consumption (since your body wants to manage blood glucose and these migrate to your body as as glucose straight from the intestines) prevent your liver from operating in Glycogenesis, meaning that your liver will just store excess sugar, storing it as fat eventually.

Liver enzymes were redrawn on the day I had the ultrasound....and they were almost normal.
Last drink was Sat 8/10. Labs drawn Wed 8/14, then again on 8/19.
AST went from 241 to 45
ALT went from 100 to 61
Still officially diagnosed with a fatty liver...But it seems since really my diet and exercise have been the same for quite a while, the enzymes were elevated mostly due to alcohol consumption...
Just seems like a pretty wild swing...
