Gout and Alcohol

I've had 5 attacks in 6 years although my previous to this was 2014 (now Jan 2017). I've coped pretty well with alcohol consuming no more than 2 x pints of beer on alternate days and similarly with wine (maybe a little more wine). Having been recently diagnosed with Coeliac disease I stopped beer and drank the equivalent in spirits (4 units alternate days). BANG, instant gout but everyone says beer is by far the worst? Can I believe ANY of the literature?
