Your feedback

Whiskey Sour has low purines but contains alcohol and sugar that can still raise gout risk.

Added by vblinden

Good
  • Distilled whiskey has negligible purines and may slightly boost uric acid excretion without elevating blood levels, while lemon juice provides minor vitamin C benefits.
Bad
  • Alcohol impairs uric acid excretion and can trigger flares, and added sugar or simple syrup introduces fructose that increases uric acid production.
