Frequent drinking of beer can cause gout. Gout is a chronic metabolic disease, is due to abnormal purine metabolism in the body, resulting in elevated levels of uric acid, excessive uric acid deposition in the joints, cartilage, kidneys and other parts of the joints, resulting in recurrent arthritic diseases, with the development of the disease, can cause uric acid nephropathy, uric acid stones and even joint deformities. Drinking beer can not only increase the content of purine into the body, beer will also be metabolized to produce lactic acid, lactic acid and uric acid excretion will compete with each other, so that the excretion of uric acid is reduced, so that the body’s total purine content increased. Therefore, drinking beer can cause gout. In daily life, in addition to not drinking alcohol, we should also pay attention to not eat food containing high purine, such as beef, mutton, hot pot, broth and so on. Gout patients are advised to go to the rheumatology and immunology department of regular hospitals and other related departments for detailed consultation and treatment as prescribed by doctors.
