Alcohol and certain foods, such as shellfish and red meat, cause an overproduction of purines. The byproduct of purines is uric acid, or urate, in the blood. When excess uric acid is not filtered out of the body by the kidneys fast enough, it results in the deposit of uric crystals in the joints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Incorrect_answer_explanations\"><\/span>Incorrect answer explanations<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"B_%E2%80%9CIm_going_to_stop_drinking_beer_with_dinner%E2%80%9D\"><\/span>B. &#8220;I&#8217;m going to stop drinking beer with dinner.&#8221;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Rationale:&nbsp;<\/strong>Alcohol consumption causes an overproduction of purines.
