So long as you keep your uric acid level below 6 mg/dL you can drink anything you want. If you’re serious about beating gout you will test your uric acid level often and do what is needed to keep it in check.

As for alcohol.. beer is probably the worst. Gin or wine in moderation probably don’t hurt much. Dehydration, though, from excessive alcohol consumption can really trigger gout. So if you drink alcohol, be sure to drink lots of plain old water along with it.

I have gout, enjoy my beer, and test my uric acid level often.
