I woke up two days ago with a moderate pain in my big toe that I thought was linked to my 15kms backpacking two nights before, but it is in fact gout apparently.
It's not even directly related to my alcohol intake but I still have to stop drinking during the flare. Not even wine.
I am going to be extremely grumpy all week-end long.
I feel like killing someone with extra blood violence special effects right now.
WTF, gout?

That is very shit, sorry to hear of both the gout and its cruel undrunk treatment. Hope you can get back to it sharpish.

Stay away from ibuprofen. That stuff can really affect a gout flare.

Hope it's not too bad. My dad gets it from time to time, but hasn't for a good while since he started trying to be healthier. On the other hand I know a guy who has had crippling gout since he lost weight, ate healthier and stopped smoking.

Sorry to hear about the illness. Hears to hoping you're healthy and back to hooching in no time.

Re: WTF, gout?
I have some experience in this, and, if you are not adverse to a little homeopathy, here is my advice for you to take it as you will:
Celery seed capsules. (There is an extract, but I've never taken it.)
Eat a bunch of cherries, blueberries and strawberries.
Ingest water and vitamin c. I beleive that orange juice might have too many sulfites in it.
Black cherry juice is the optimal juice; is available in a concentrate in these United States and can be taken by the spoonful.
Don't eat cured meat, sausages or offal.
Also, asparagus might exacerbate it.
I have read that wine was the only liquor that was alright to drink.
Also, a guy at work with whom I have bonded with over gout swears that Naproxen is a miracle and that his doctor told him to take 3 Aleve™ at the onset of an attack.

Hope you recover soon. You'll have to make up for lost time once you can drink again...

Re: WTF, gout?
This is getting weirder and weirder: a Harvard Medical School inquiry showed that wine doesn't increase the risk of gout while beer is a major factor. Well, wine is what I drink all the time. It might be that something in what I ate triggered that. That is highly unfortunate.

Re: WTF, gout?
I heard a lot of protein can cause gout. Dunno though, this was just a bloke in the pub who sounded confident.

No alcohol on a weekend? Oh my God. I won't even try to fathom this.
