I've had normal AST 14 ALT 11 every year for 10 years. Would odds of cirrhosis be low with those numbers alone? If by chance there was fatty liver and no alcohol for 9 months, would liver fully recover and moderate drinking would be ok?

I have a non-alcoholic fatty liver. I am not a drinker and rarely do so, however i would like to enjoy a social drink a few times a year. Will i get cirrhosis from doing so? Will i get it eventually?
