Alcohol Reduction
for High Blood Pressure (Hypertension)
Reducing or eliminating alcohol — particularly beer and spirits — to lower uric acid levels and reduce gout attack frequency.
How it works
Alcohol inhibits kidney excretion of uric acid and beer specifically contains high levels of purines (guanosine). Both mechanisms raise serum uric acid significantly.
What to watch for
Even modest alcohol reduction significantly reduces blood pressure in heavy drinkers.
