Can you drink hard liquor with high blood uric acid?

You can’t drink strong alcohol with high blood uric acid because alcohol increases the production of uric acid and also decreases the excretion of uric acid, making the condition worse. There are two pathways for elevated blood uric acid, one is excessive production and the other is decreased excretion. Excessive alcohol consumption can promote uric acid formation and block uric acid secretion from renal tubules by increasing hepatic ATP breakdown. High purine food such as animal offal, seafood, thick broth can lead to increased production of uric acid, so it should be strictly controlled; and drink a lot of water to promote uric acid excretion. High uric acid is often associated with obesity, glucose and lipid metabolism disorders and other metabolic syndromes, so it should be actively treating the underlying diseases, moderate exercise to improve metabolism, and control the total calories in the daily diet. For those with high blood uric acid, it is recommended to visit the relevant departments in the hospital and standardize the treatment under the doctor’s guidance.
