To reduce the frequency of gout attacks, a patient is usually advised to
- A. eat more organ meats
- B. avoid drinking water
- C. limit purine rich foods and alcohol

Explanation
Purines from red meat and organ meats break down to uric acid, the substance that crystallises in the joints during gout, and alcohol raises its production too. Cutting these lowers urate levels and prevents flares.
