With moderation
Drink

Your feedback
Good for you

The added water supports hydration, and distilled spirits like whiskey contain negligible purines unlike beer.

Bad for you

Ethanol in whiskey reduces kidney uric acid excretion, promotes dehydration, and can elevate serum urate levels in a dose-dependent way.
