Alcohol>BreastCancer: An ALT of 11 and AST of 20 is normal. The ratio pertains to alcoholic liver disease with abnormally elevated levels and is not an indicator of liver disease by itself. A far more sensitive test is Gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase(GGT). **There is an increased risk of breast cancer in women who drink, even lightly. The risk goes up 30% for each ounce of liquor, each 8oz beer or 5oz wine.
