Drink

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

Your feedback
Good for you

Distillation leaves minimal purines (around 0.38 mg/dl), lower than beer and comparable to other spirits.

Bad for you

Ethanol impairs kidney uric acid removal, promotes dehydration, and increases serum urate in a dose-dependent way, raising incident and recurrent gout attack risk.
