Stop drinking EtOH: Sgpt (alt) & SGOT (ast) are transaminases that signal liver cell disease. There are many reasons for same--including viral infections, toxic exposures, drug overdoses, shock, metabolic problems, infiltrative processes, familial liver diseases, more. The single best thing you can do food-wise right now is stop all alcohol ingestion. The most important thing is to see your doctor now & get evaluated.

Agree wit Dr. C: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, if your drink alcohol, stop entirely, if you are overweight, lose weight.
