Gout Diet Food to Avoid #2: Alcohol

Although beer is the worst drink for gout, any alcoholic beverage is not beneficial for those with gout. It can trigger symptoms in people who are prone to the disease. Alcohol causes the kidneys to excrete alcohol instead of uric acid, which increases the amount of uric acid in the blood.

Compared with people without gout, those who do have gout tend to drink more alcohol. Research suggests that men who drink alcohol daily have twice the risk of developing gout as a disorder as men who did not drink alcohol daily. Beer drinkers increased their risk by 50% for every daily serving. Men who drank wine did not appear to increase the risk of gout.
