Beer raises gout risk

'Different alcohol drinks have different effects on blood levels of uric acid, and this can determine the likelihood of gout, a new study says. In the journal Arthritis and Rheumatism, Harvard researchers said that "beer confers a larger increase than liquor, whereas moderate wine drinking does not increase serum uric acid levels."'
I post this because I found it quite interesting. This study says that beer raises gout risk.
