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.
When you have gout, you have higher than normal levels of uric acid in your body. When too much uric acid builds up around a joint, uric crystal forms, causing a painful gout flare. All sorts of things -- from certain foods and drinks to stress and medicines -- can cause your uric acid levels to go up. Eating just one of these foods or several of them together, can cause a gout flare. 2  Purines are found in all foods that have protein. 3  Alcohol -- Beer and liquor can raise the uric acid level in the blood and many bring on a gout flare.
