    Beer is not a high-purine drink. The purine content of beer is not high, but in addition to containing alcohol, which easily affects uric acid metabolism, it also contains higher guanine acid, which is converted into purine in the body, and finally metabolized out of the body by the kidneys in the form of uric acid.
