Always send ranges of labs for people like you who live where you live. Best to discuss with local Dr who has better handle on what is normal if folks like u.

Your lab results are not a cause for concern. Alcohol is a poison that never did anybody any good, ever, so stay away from it. It will destroy your brain cells, damage testicular cells that make testosterone, facilitate development of cancer in many organs, cause hepatitis, cirrhosis and pancreatitis etc. There is no safe level of alcohol intake. Quit while you are ahead.
