Q: would my ggt and alkaline phosphate be elevated on bloodwork if the alcohol i was drinking everyday was causing my liver harm ?

: Yes it would, but absence of those markers does not mean that no harm is being done. Alcohol intake in your excess of 2 drinks per day for men is harmful to the body as it increases risk for liver disease, cancer, and heart disease.
