The Science
The energy drink is high in sugar (21% DV), which can increase uric acid production and impair its excretion, worsening gout. Although vitamin C (28% DV) may help lower uric acid, the high sugar content outweighs this benefit, especially since the drink provides no protein or fiber to moderate effects.
Recommendation
Avoid this energy drink if you have gout; choose water or unsweetened beverages instead.
