Abstract Synopsis

  • The study found a dose-response relationship between alcohol consumption and the risk of recurrent gout attacks, with higher alcohol intake increasing the risk.
  • All types of alcoholic beverages—wine, beer, and liquor—were linked to a greater likelihood of triggering gout attacks.
  • Even moderate alcohol consumption was associated with an increased risk, suggesting that individuals with gout should limit all alcohol intake to reduce attack recurrence.]
