Your feedback

Brandy has very low purine content but its alcohol raises gout flare risk via impaired uric acid excretion.

Added by vblinden

Good
  • Distillation leaves minimal purines (around 0.38 mg/dl), lower than beer and comparable to other spirits.
Bad
  • Ethanol impairs kidney uric acid removal, promotes dehydration, and increases serum urate in a dose-dependent way, raising incident and recurrent gout attack risk.
