If you indicate alcohol consumption, The Analyst™ will ask further questions including this one:

How much beer/wine do you consume compared to distilled spirits such as whiskey, rum, brandy, gin, vodka or tequila?

Possible responses:

→ Not applicable / don't know
→ Mainly beer, little or no hard liquor
→ Mainly wine, little or no hard liquor
→ I drink beer/wine AND hard liquor
→ Mainly hard liquor, little or no beer/wine

The Diagnostic Process

Based on your response to this question, which may indicate drinking beer, drinking wine, drinking beer/wine/hard liquor or drinking hard liquor, The Analyst™ will use differential diagnosis to consider possibilities such as Gout / Hyperuricemia. Beer raises gout risk by 49% per daily serving. A daily serving of spirits raises gout risk by 15%.
