Pils Beer

Pils Beer is high in purines or a known trigger. It is best avoided, especially during a flare. A typical 355 g serving has about 35 mg of purines, about 9% of a ~400 mg working daily target.

The alcohol sets the limit here. It raises uric acid at any serving size, so keep drinks rare and skip them during a flare.

Why grade E

Alcohol raises uric acid and slows how your kidneys clear it. It is an independent gout trigger regardless of purine content.

Diet is part of the picture, not all of it

For most people the body makes the majority of its own uric acid. Food contributes the smaller share. Eating well lowers your risk and helps you feel in control, but for many people diet alone does not bring uric acid down enough to stop flares. Medication often does the heavy lifting. Use these grades to make easier daily choices, and work with your doctor on the full plan.
