15Alcoholic Drinks
Alcoholic drinks can be a source of purines. In addition to contributing to the production of uric acid, they can also raise the metabolism of nucleotides. When it comes to the levels of purines, not all alcohol is equal. Spirits tend to have the lowest content, while the highest amount can be found in beer. Many studies have shown that the direct effect of beer on the formation of uric acid in the body is caused by its yeast. For these reasons, people with gout or high risks should consume these beverages in moderation. Also, it is better to go for wine rather than beer.
