Your feedback

Scotch has negligible purines due to distillation but its alcohol content still raises gout risk in a dose-dependent way.

Good
  • Contains almost no purines and may mildly increase urinary uric acid excretion.
Bad
  • Alcohol promotes dehydration, boosts uric acid production, and impairs kidney excretion, increasing flare risk.
