Consuming alcohol is one of a biggest triggers of a painful gout attack. Studies have shown that beer in particular is dangerous. One study followed 47,000 men for 12 years and found that 2% of them developed gout. Those that had more alcohol in their diet had a much higher risk. One serving of beer a day can increase your risk by 50%. Beer in particular has high levels of purine, explaining its particular risk.
Gout is caused when uric acid crystallizes, and deposits in tissues and joints of the body. These crystals result in inflammation and can cause severe pain. The most common place for gout to occur is the big toe, but it can also happen in other places like the feet, ankles, wrists, fingers and elbows. Foods that cause gout are high in purines. Purines are the chemicals in foods, which the body breaks down into uric acid.
