Question by Rumbly: Liver blood tests coming back abnormal? Alcohol abuse?
I have had several AST, ALT and GGT blood tests come back elevated. I know these can point to liver disease from alcohol abuse. How much do you have to drink to damage your liver?
I drink regularly but not heavily and never expected to have liver damage because of it? I have 3-5 drinks per week on average. Is that alot?
