Elevation can be related to things like taking tylenol, (acetaminophen) or drinking too much, having a tumor, etc. There are hundreds of things that can cause alt elevation -- but it is usually not a genetic problem.

One party: Just getting drunk is sufficient. So is a day on ibuprofen or some other med if you're sensitive to it. If it's way-high, it needs to be evaluated. There are dozens of causes.
