It is not recommended to drink beer when eating crab, because crab belongs to seafood and river food, which is rich in purines, while the purine content in beer is relatively high, and the simultaneous intake of both can increase the metabolic burden of the body. 1, easy to cause high uric acid, induce gout: crab belongs to high purine food, plus the intake of beer, can increase the uric acid in the body. If uric acid is stored in the body for a long time and cannot be excreted, it increases the risk of developing hyperuricemia. If you suffer from hyperuricemia, the common consumption of crab and beer can easily lead to gout attacks. In addition, the common consumption of these two foods can also increase the burden on the liver, which can also easily cause liver damage and induce diseases such as alcoholic liver and fatty liver; 2, easy to damage the kidneys: because the protein in crabs and alcohol in beer need to be metabolized by the kidneys, the two enter the kidneys at the same time, which is more damaging to the kidneys, leading to uric acid excretion disorders, again increasing the risk of patients with hyperuricemia and gout The two together will stimulate the gastric mucosa and cause diarrhea, abdominal pain and other gastrointestinal discomfort, adding to the burden on the gastrointestinal tract. In addition, it is recommended to drink white wine and yellow wine when consuming crab to help warm the stomach and ease the discomfort of the gastrointestinal tract after eating crab. For patients who have hyperuricemia, gout, liver disease, etc., it is not recommended to consume crab or beer.
