Was it the drugs or the Alcohol

I was trying to pin point what caused my GGT to be 70 when it was it was normal 14 days ago.  I don't know what the level was earlier but it was 70 today.  I took one dose of a study drug about which probably isn't significant 14 days ago and 250 mg of ticlopidine twice daily for 7 days.  I had maybe 6-16oz domestic beers on the 9th day and the night before last I drank 4 Indian Pale Ales that contained 9% alcohol each. And this morning my blood was drawn and GGT was 70.  Is this the result of alcohol consumption or 500mg X 7 days of ticlopidine?

It's possible it could be due to either one or both. But you may want to consider cutting back on the alcohol intake. Your liver might appreciate it.
