With moderation
Drink

Your feedback
Good for you

Negligible purines (around 0.12 mg/dl) make it lower-risk than beer among alcoholic drinks.

Bad for you

Ethanol impairs kidney uric acid clearance and may increase production, with studies linking spirits to higher flare risk in a dose-dependent manner.
