Rice wine has low purine content and shows minimal impact on uric acid compared to beer.
Good
Lower purine levels (around 13 μmol/L) and little to no rise in serum urate make it one of the less problematic alcoholic drinks for gout in moderation.
Bad
Any alcohol promotes dehydration and reduced uric acid excretion, which can still trigger flares especially during acute attacks.
