Although there’s no direct proof excessive ‘rich’ food and alcohol consumption causes gout, this comment from a site visitor is still interesting.

I’ve enjoyed reading your website about Gout. It’s run in family for generation. I’ve got it, my brother has got it, my grandfather and his father had it. I suppose this means there may be a common gene. But our family and previous generations were all heavy drinkers, smokers and eaters. We loved big meat dinners and wash it down a beer or two.

I’ve read about the link to beer, it doesn’t surprise me! Most of us have found our gout is much worse after drinking and eating a lot!

Great website about Gout.
