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. Other alcoholic drinks to avoid include hard liquor and wine.
The basic rules for a gout diet are as follows: 1 Consume limited quantities of meat, poultry and fish. Almost all animal protein is a high in purines, although naturally enough some are higher than others. Particular foods to avoid here include organ meats, herring, anchovies and mackerel. In addition, beef, pork and lamb, oily fish, and in particular shellfish, are all associated with an increased risk of a gout attack. Your daily intake of meat, poultry and fish needs to be limited to between 4 and 6 ounces a day.
