Had slightly elevated enzymes. stopped drinking, they went down. my dr told me to quit drinking completely. haven't drank in 6 months. simple answer: is it a death sentence to have a few on my vacation?

No it is not a death: Sentence but to start i would not drink more than one every few days. I would then follow up to see how your numbers are when you get back. Good luck.
