Purines by serving size
Purines arrive by the gram, not by the label. This is the measured value above, scaled to portions you would actually eat.

|---|---|
| Small glass (150 ml) | 0 mg |
| Can or bottle (330 ml) | 1 mg |
| Pint (500 ml) | 1 mg |
Why the numbers vary
The alcoholic drinks measured here run from 0.2 mg to 8.3 mg per 100 g, so the category is a poor guide on its own — which specific food, and prepared how, decides almost everything.
