A member asked:
If you have been an alcoholic for quite a few years and you start drinking moderately is this okay? liver enzymes elevated once back 2 normal now.

Is this wise?: Most people who drink heavily enough to make themselves sick have lost self-control and are wisest not to touch the stuff again. The word 'alcoholic' carries a connotation that it's hard for the person to stop. Why play with fire? If in fact you just binge-drank and are over that stage in your life, your liver will be okay but get checked every so often. And think about being 'high on life.'

Yes: It's wonderful you're decreasing your drinking and you may want to continue to do that slowly. Also increase your exercise and do some deep breathing.
