Rum

With moderation
Drink

Rum has very low purine content after distillation but alcohol itself raises gout risk by impairing uric acid excretion.

Your feedback
Good for you

Distilled spirits like rum contain far fewer purines than beer or wine, so they pose a lower purine load in small amounts.

Bad for you

Ethanol in rum competes for kidney excretion of uric acid, promotes dehydration, and can trigger flares especially with two or more servings daily.
