As your ALT values higher than AST so, so far you do not have alcoholic fatty changes, could be your medications or food.

Actually in the ultimate analysis there is not much difference between the two. In Alcoholic fatty liver disease it is the tissue degeneration and cirrhosis which is a predominant feature.
In Non Alcoholic fatty liver disease it is the tissue inflammation, especially around the blood vessels in the liver. That will also lead to fibrosis and cirrhosis.
Quantity of liquor consumed is important but some people will get degeneration of liver tissue with lesser amounts . It is more like an allergic reaction .
So to avoid Alcoholic fatty liver disease it is better to avoid liquor completely.
For Non Alcoholic fatty liver disease it is the excessive amount of fat deposits which are responsible for liver fibrosis.
So self discipline is the key word.
