Gout patients should not drink liquor.
Gout is a group of heterogeneous diseases caused by purine metabolism disorders and/or uric acid excretion disorders. Hyperuricemia is the most important biochemical basis of gout. Gout is related to drinking. First of all, alcoholic drinks contain a certain amount of purine, which turns into uric acid after the body metabolizes it. Alcohol (ethanol) will cause the accumulation of lactic acid in the body, and lactic acid and uric acid will compete with each other when excreted from the kidneys. The increase in lactic acid will affect the excretion of blood uric acid, leading to an increase in blood uric acid, thereby inducing gout.
The best treatment for gout consists of non-drug treatments and/or drug treatments. Proper lifestyle and dietary habits are the basis for long-term treatment of gout. It is necessary to exercise appropriately, avoid high-purine and high-sugar diets, control the intake of seafood and meat, maintain an ideal weight, and avoid triggering factors. Make sure you drink enough water every day.
