Your symptom is non specific but for sure alcohol is not friendly to a sick liver (NAFLD). You have to stay off alcohol completely and I am not surprised if blood test may show a spike in liver enzymes; however, that does not mean the liver disease is not reversible. In summary, alcohol abstinence, good diet and exercise should be adhered.

More info needed. But getting to a nl weight , in a way you can be happy with is paramount . Alcohol should be saved for special occasions , and very rare. You are not doomed , you are asking the right questions . Master this subject , teach others by your experience . Treat your self like you would someone you care about .
