GGT raised more often than not by alcohol or stones (the latter can be silent stones - as in not giving any symptoms)

Abstain and repeat and if still up for some more extensive liver function tests and an ultrasound scan.

Borderline raised levels should return to normal in a week if it is alcohol related.

Even moderate amounts of alcohol can give a rise the day following ingestion of the alcohol.
