Does drinking beer often cause gout?

Gout

is a group of diseases caused by purine metabolism disorder and uric acid excretion disorder in the body. Beer contains a lot of purine, and alcohol can promote the accumulation of lactic acid in the body, disturbing the excretion of uric acid in the body. If the patient lacks purine metabolism-related enzymes, and often drinks a lot, drinking beer while eating a lot of high-purine foods, such as animal viscera, seafood, etc., it is easy to cause uric acid elevation in the body, thus inducing gout. However, if you usually drink a small amount of beer, and do not often eat a large number of high-purine foods, while the purine metabolism of the body is normal, generally will not cause gout.
