Drinking alcohol does not promise anything good for a person, and abuse guarantees a number of consequences in the form of health problems.
Some people mistakenly believe that nothing bad will happen from a glass of white wine or champagne, relying on the noble origin of the drinks. Here's what scientists say.
The publication Doctorpiter reports on what kind of alcohol can cause the development of gout.
Gout is a painful form of inflammatory arthritis caused by a buildup of uric acid in the joints.
Until recently, it was believed that the risk of developing gout was 2 times higher in those who consumed alcohol more than once a week.
Moreover, the main blow falls on men.
Alcohol and gout
According to the latest scientific data, drinking champagne, white wine, beer, cider and spirits is associated with a high risk of developing gout.
It was also found that strong alcoholic drinks increase the risk of this disease in women.
Avoid problems
To avoid problems, researchers recommend reducing alcohol and meat consumption, and at the same time drinking more clean water.
Although the risk of death from gout is low, the disease can affect the health of the heart and blood vessels and generally reduce the quality of life.
