Your feedback

Diluted whiskey has very low purines but alcohol still raises gout flare risk through impaired uric acid clearance and dehydration.

Added by vblinden

Good
  • The added water supports hydration, and distilled spirits like whiskey contain negligible purines unlike beer.
Bad
  • Ethanol in whiskey reduces kidney uric acid excretion, promotes dehydration, and can elevate serum urate levels in a dose-dependent way.
