Your feedback
Good for you

It is low in purines compared to beer or spirits, but this minimal benefit is outweighed by other risks.

Bad for you

Ethanol raises uric acid production and impairs its excretion. Fructose from apples also increases serum urate, making hard cider a significant trigger for gout attacks.
