As others have posted, there are a myriad of factors, not just how much or how long an individual has been drinking. Diet, genetics, and other factors and patterns can all have an influence. When I went through treatment, we all had physicals the first couple of days, and the liver function test results weren't necessarily scaled to the amount we drank: the most severe and elevated enzymes and triglycerides were from a young person who (said he) only drank beer. I drank hard liquor and binged and my results were only slightly abnormal and returned to normal in a month. Only a doctor can tell you your condition and prognosis.
