Foods that Cause Kidney Stones: Alcohol
Advertisements

Alcohol consumption can contribute to kidney stone formation by increasing urinary excretion of calcium, oxalate, and uric acid. In addition, alcohol can lead to dehydration, which can increase the risk of stone formation.

To reduce your risk of kidney stones, consider the following suggestions:

  • Limit your alcohol consumption and opt for low-alcohol alternatives when possible. Drinking in moderation and spacing out your drinks with water can also help reduce the risk of dehydration.
  • Stay well-hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day, especially when consuming alcohol.
  • Consider incorporating magnesium-rich foods into your diet, as magnesium can help reduce the risk of kidney stones in individuals who consume alcohol.

By making these dietary adjustments, you can reduce your risk of kidney stones while still enjoying your favorite alcoholic beverages in moderation. (8)
