What is Gout?

Gout is a type of inflammatory arthritis that causes extreme pain in affected joints.1 Symptom flares can begin without warning and linger for days or weeks, and then go into remission, where you are symptom-free for long periods of time, even years.1 Gout can affect various joints, and typically occurs in one joint at a time. It often impacts the joints in the toes, especially the big toe, but can also occur in the ankle, knee, and other joints.1 Symptoms include:1,2

  • Pain, usually intense, that begins suddenly and often at night.
  • Swelling, stiffness, redness, and warmth in the joint that is affected.

How Does Alcohol Affect Recurrent Attacks of Gout?

Recurrent attacks of gout can be triggered by various factors.2 One of the triggers is alcohol intake – especially drinking heavily or regularly.7 Drinking any type of alcohol can increase the likelihood of experiencing recurrent flares and episodes of gout, and heavier drinking is associated with a greater risk.5,8 However, even drinking moderately can dramatically increase the risk of recurrent attacks, especially for men.8 Alcohol can also lead to increased levels of uric acid in the body even if you don’t have symptoms, which can cause increased frequency of recurrent attacks and the development of complications. 1,9

Can Quitting Alcohol Reverse Gout?

Gout affects everyone differently, and everyone’s prognosis for gout is different due to a range of individual factors, including overall health, eating habits, weight, and alcohol intake, to name a few. If you’ve been diagnosed with gout, quitting or limiting your alcohol intake, particularly beer and hard liquor, may be a good choice for you, since it has been shown to sometimes bring about flares of gout.1,8

However, while this can eliminate a major trigger, it may not necessarily reverse gout, but it can reduce the likelihood of recurrent attacks.8 Overall, you should discuss your alcohol use and gout diagnosis with your doctor. Remember: a lack of symptoms doesn’t mean that gout has gone away, and damage can still be occurring within your body.8

How Much Can I Drink if I have Gout?

If you’ve been diagnosed with gout, this is an important discussion to have with your physician. They can provide the best guidance for you since they will know the most about your overall health and how severe your gout is. Having more than one drink in the space of a day has been shown to raise the risk of experiencing a flare of gout.5  If you’ve been diagnosed with gout, limiting your alcohol intake may help you prevent future gout attacks, especially if alcohol triggered a flare in the past.7,10

Is Gout Dangerous?

Gout can lead to complications, although the progress and outlook for the condition can vary between individuals depending on a variety of factors. Many of these factors are malleable and can be effectively managed or treated with medication. While gout isn’t directly life-threatening, it can lead to other major issues, including:1,2,11

  • Infections and damage to affected joints, including deformity.
  • Formation of kidney stones, chronic kidney disease, or kidney damage.
  • Gouty arthritis, a type of progressive arthritis.
  • Greater risk of developing heart problems.

Treatment Options for Gout

There are various medications used to treat gout, depending on the severity of your condition and other factors. While gout cannot be cured, medications can be used to:1,4,7

  • Treat flares. If you have a gout attack, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) such as ibuprofen or diclofenac, steroids, or a medication called colchicine may be prescribed to help reduce the pain and swelling. In severe cases, corticosteroid injections can be given in the affected joint.
  • Lower uric acid levels. If you have many recurrent attacks, your doctor may prescribe medication to reduce your uric acid levels. These medications are taken regularly whether you have symptoms or not, and include allopurinol (Aloprim, Zyloprim), febuxostat (Uloric), and pegloticase (Krystexxa).

If you struggle to stop drinking, behavioral therapy for alcohol use disorder (AUD) or medications to help you reduce your alcohol intake can be an important part of treatment in managing gout as well. Behavioral therapies typically focus on changing patterns of thought that influence behavior, allowing you to learn healthy coping skills and recognize the stressors and other triggers that lead to drinking. They also improve your ability to communicate with others, enhance problem-solving skills, allow you to learn how to incorporate healthy activities to replace drinking, and improve motivation towards staying sober.13 Some of the most commonly used behavioral therapies used to treat alcohol abuse and AUD include cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), contingency management, motivational interviewing, community reinforcement approach (CRA), motivational enhancement therapy (MET), 12-step facilitation therapy, and family behavior therapy.13

Coping & Prevention Tips

Lifestyle changes can help you cope with gout and may help to prevent attacks. When you have a flare, it can be helpful to rest the affected joint, keep it elevated, and use ice on it for short periods of time. 3 Staying hydrated can also help the flare pass. Managing gout involves taking steps to avoid future flares, and can include many different things, including:1,3

  • Maintaining a healthy weight. If you are overweight, losing weight can lower the risk of future flares and reduce pressure on the joints.
  • Dietary changes. Staying away from foods high in purines, such as red meat, organ meat, and seafood can help you avoid triggers. Eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Also, try to avoid eating a lot of fatty or sweet foods. Incorporating more low-fat dairy into your diet can help to lower the number of flares you get.
  • Talk to your doctor about the medications you take. Since some medications can trigger attacks, your doctor may want you to stop them. If you are prescribed medications to lower uric acid levels, it is important to take them as prescribed even if you don’t have symptoms.
  • Stay away from soda and limit your alcohol intake, particularly beer and hard liquor, which are known triggers for gout attacks. Make sure to drink sufficient water to stay hydrated.
  • Moderate levels of low-impact exercise, such as walking, swimming, or riding a bicycle, can help to protect your joints and maintain a healthy weight.
  • Avoid cigarettes. If you smoke, quitting is a good idea.
  • Get enough vitamins. Speak to your doctor about taking vitamin C supplements.

Gout Statistics

Important gout statistics include:3,5,11

  • Gout is the most commonly occurring type of inflammatory arthritis affecting adults.
  • More than 8 million adults in America have gout, although nearly 3 times as many men have it as women.
  • Currently, 6.1 million men and 2.2 million women are diagnosed with gout, equivalent to 3.9% of adults in America.
  • Almost 70% of people experience at least one recurrent attack yearly.
  • In men, consuming 2 drinks can increase the risk of a recurrent gout flare by 41%.

Busting the myths of gout

When gout is mentioned, people often think it’s caused by overindulgence and something you get from drinking too much alcohol. It can be a bit of a joke, when it’s no laughing matter.

What causes gout?

Gout is caused by too much uric acid in the body. We all naturally have some level of urate in the body and it shouldn’t cause any problems.

But if someone has too much uric acid or the body isn’t good at getting rid of it, then it can form small, sharp crystals which can settle in the joints causing serious pain and swelling.

The food and drink we consume can increase the amount of uric acid in in our body.

Some foods can be worse for you than others, however you shouldn’t have to remove anything from your diet entirely.

Foods which you should try to avoid having large quantities of include:

  • red meat and offal – for example beef, kidney, liver
  • oily fish – fish roes, herring, mackerel, sardines
  • foods rich in yeast extracts – Marmite, Bovril, Vegemite.
  • Drinking too much alcohol, especially beers and spirits, may increase urate levels.

Gout is a serious condition

Despite the often light-hearted stereotype of gout being a condition which affected the aristocracy of the middle-ages due to their fine living, it should be taken seriously.

Gout affects more men than women. It can affect men of any age, but it rarely affects women before the menopause.

The two most common drugs which can be prescribed are allopurinol and febuxostat.

If you have any of the symptoms of gout, it’s important you see a doctor. Read more about the symptoms and treatments for gout.

Cieran’s story

Ceiran, 26, was recently diagnosed with gout after experiencing symptoms for two years. He shares his experiences and debunks some common myths about the condition. Including:

  • only old men get gout
  • gout is caused by a bad diet and drinking alcohol
  • gout is incurable

“It’s hard to believe somebody so young can get it, and that one day you can be fine, while the next you’re in extreme pain.”

I was officially diagnosed with gout at the start of this year.

My symptoms had been affecting me for over two years, before I went to the doctor. It came on overnight and I think it was caused by an injury to my toe – which then triggered a flare up.

After a few days of the pain I “Googled” my symptoms as you do, and everything directed me to gout.

I was in denial, trying to convince myself it was just an injury, even though I knew it wasn’t, the pain was completely different to anything I’d experienced before.

“It’s not been easy, especially being in a health profession where having a condition like this isn’t really accepted.”

I was working in education and professional sport at the time and the flares massively affected the quality of my work and my mindset.

I began getting flare ups in my toe every five to six weeks. I’d wake up in so much pain. I’d often be late because it was a struggle to get ready (wearing shoes and socks was agony) and walking/driving to a lesson or training session took a bit of grit and self-talk.

Some people just didn’t believe that I’d woken up completely unable to do my job after seeing me the previous day with no issues. It got to a point where I’d have to lie to people about “spraining my ankle” to make it more believable.

Trust me, when you’re on your feet for 15 hours a day in a gym, running PE lessons or coaching people how to sprint, it isn’t fun.

It’s not been easy, especially being in a health profession where having a condition like this isn’t really accepted. Luckily, I can look back and laugh a little…until next time.

“I was slightly ashamed; I couldn’t justify having this at 26 years old”

I had to have an unrelated operation on my left ankle, and it was then that my surgeon told me that there was uric acid buildup of crystals around the joint, and I was tested for gout.

I was put on allopurinol and Colchicine. I didn’t tell anyone what it was for the first few weeks. I was slightly ashamed; I couldn’t justify having this at 26 years old.

When I did tell people, they’d often say things like ‘you’re too young for that’, ‘or what have you eaten?’ which didn’t help my mindset.

“Now I’ve started medication, things are improving massively.”

I’ve moved to Newcastle and I’m still working full time as a strength and conditioning coach with more confidence and movement in my foot.

Before I started treatment, my flare ups were virtually happening to the exact day every four weeks, I could often predict it.

I’ve had four months without a flare up and I’m able to run and indulge in good food and a few beers without the fear of a flare the following day.

This has made a huge difference to my lifestyle and has made me realise I should’ve got help sooner!

“I’m going to focus on getting back in shape and running more frequently.”

I’d eventually like to do a triathlon, only a little one! I’d raise some money for Versus Arthritis at the same time and that would be massive achievement.

My advice to others in a similar position to me would be:

  • Seek medical advice and start treatment as early as possible, don’t feel embarrassed or ashamed.
  • The sooner you address the issues and get the right medication, the sooner you can live a normal, pain-free life again.
  • Be honest with the people around you, family, friends and employers. The more they understand what it is, how it affects you and what support you need the better the process will be!
  • Thanks to the medication I’m planning to get away sometime post lockdown and I’m confident my gout won’t hinder my travels too much.

Our research

We’ve funded several research projects to help develop better treatments for gout and improve patient care. For example:

  • How can nurse-led care and patient involvement improve the treatment of gout?

Gout is essentially the only ‘’curable’’ form of arthritis, because if you’re on the right dose of allopurinol your uric acid levels will be brought down enough to dissolve all the crystals in your joints.

Professor Michael Doherty led this research looking at individualised treatments and nurse-led care, he tells us why these studies are vital to develop better treatments.

Choice of alcohol for gout

Gout is a disease that requires a special approach to the choice of alcohol. Some types of alcohol can make gout symptoms worse, while others can reduce them. It is important to know what kind of alcohol you can drink so as not to aggravate your condition.

Alcohol recommendations for gout:

  1. Prefer wine: Wine can be consumed in small quantities, it does not significantly affect the level of uric acid in the blood.
  2. Limit beer consumption: Beer increases the production of uric acid in the body, which can aggravate gout. The optimal amount of beer for gout is no more than one bottle a day.
  3. Avoid strong alcoholic drinks: Whiskey, rum, cognac and other strong drinks should be excluded from the diet for gout. They contain a high concentration of ethyl alcohol, which can exacerbate the disease.
  4. Moderation is the key to health: Do not forget that it is important to observe the measure of alcohol consumption in gout. Do not get carried away and abuse its use.

The right choice of alcohol for gout is the first step to reducing the symptoms of the disease and maintaining health. Check out the recommendations and choose alcohol wisely!

Relaxation with spirits

No gout will be an obstacle to your enjoyment if you choose exactly those strong alcoholic drinks that will not harm your body.

Whiskey or bourbon is an excellent choice for connoisseurs of noble spirits. Avoid specific flavors and choose a moderate strength, such as 40%, for maximum enjoyment.

Make yourself a cocktail based on vodka or gin. If you prefer it stronger, then don’t forget about lemon and fresh mint, which will disperse your mood, as well as improve the functioning of the stomach and liver.

  • When choosing a strong drink, pay attention to the strength
  • Avoid drinks high in sugar and synthetic ingredients
  • Moderation in alcohol consumption is a healthy lifestyle

Enjoy your favorite strong drink and relax without thinking about restrictions and troubles, associated with gout.

An ideal choice for relaxation with gout: low-alcohol drinks

What is gout?

Gout is a form of arthritis that causes severe joint pain caused by the buildup of uric acid in the blood.

Choosing the right drink to relax with gout

Diet plays an important role in gout, and in particular the choice of alcoholic beverages is an important aspect. You shouldn’t drink heavily, but low-alcohol drinks like beer, wine, and spirits that are low in simple sugars can be a nice addition to your rest that won’t hurt gout.

Which measure should be observed?

When drinking low-alcohol drinks, it is important to respect the measure and know your limits. You should not drink too much, and you should also plan on drinking alcoholic beverages in accordance with your diet and gout treatment. Never forget that with gout, any alcohol consumption should be limited, or better, better completely excluded.

Choose your drink

If you do decide to drink a low-alcohol drink, then you should seek the advice of a doctor to find out which drink is best for you. Choose your drink wisely and enjoy it in moderation for maximum enjoyment and health benefits.

There is nothing better than a refreshing beer on a hot day!

But what if you suffer from gout?

Gout is a disease in which uric acid crystals accumulate in the joints, causing pain, inflammation, and discomfort. Most gout sufferers avoid alcohol, however, not all drinks are created equal.

However, be aware that excessive drinking can worsen gout symptoms and exacerbate the disease. We recommend moderate beer drinking and a proper diet to minimize the risk of complications and allow yourself to enjoy life.

  • Avoid strong alcoholic drinks such as vodka or tequila;
  • Drink beer with your friends in moderation;
  • Remember that participation in illness and disease is essential to its treatment.

Ultimately, the enjoyment of life should not lead to its deterioration. Beer and gout can be compatible as long as you drink beer in moderation and follow the recommended eating habits.

Avoid cocktails with gout!

Generous and hard on the medicinal side and nothing less on attaching these side attributes, gout can severly leave you with limited choices when choosing alcoholic beverages.

Instead of cocktails, opt for natural wine, beer, or spirits, which have a lower concentration of sugar and are less likely to aggravate the disease.

  • When choosing wine, red is preferred because it contains substances that can lower blood uric acid levels.
  • When choosing a beer, lighter, lower-strength varieties without added fruit flavors are preferred.
  • When choosing spirits, make sure that they do not exceed 40% alcohol and avoid drinks with added sugar and fructose.

Have fun, but remember to limit your intake of cocktails and other sugary alcoholic beverages if you have gout. By following these tips, you will reduce the risk of exacerbation of the disease and will be able to enjoy the taste of quality alcohol without harm to health.

How to combine alcohol and drugs?

The danger of combining alcohol and drugs

Gout is a disease in which an elevated level of uric acid in the blood leads to the formation of a urinary stone that causes severe joint pain. Treatment for gout involves medication, but the combination of alcohol and medication can be dangerous.

Alcohol can increase the side effects of medications, increasing the risk of serious complications such as kidney and liver problems.

What can I drink with gout?

If you want to relax and enjoy an alcoholic drink, choose a light beer, wine or a light cocktail. Avoid strong drinks such as vodka or tequila, which can worsen your health and cause gout to flare up.

How to take medicine correctly?

Medicines for gout should be taken strictly on the advice of a doctor. Do not take more than directed in the directions for use and avoid combining with alcohol. If you plan to drink alcohol, please consult your doctor so that he can assess the risk to your health and make appropriate recommendations.

  • Advice: If you are on medication and don’t know if you can combine it with alcohol, it’s best not to risk drinking alcohol at all.
  • Reminder: Gout is a serious disease that requires emergency treatment. Do not delay contacting a doctor and strictly follow his instructions.
What kind of alcohol can I drink with gout? Strong drinks such as vodka or tequila are best avoided. For relaxation, it is better to choose light beer, wine or a light cocktail.
What if I take medication? Do not take more than directed for use and avoid mixing with alcohol. Check with your doctor if you plan to drink alcohol.

Limiting alcohol for gout

Why can’t I drink alcohol for gout?

One of the reasons for limiting alcohol consumption in gout is that alcohol can cause high levels of uric acid, leading to gout attacks and exacerbating the symptoms of the disease.

The second reason is that alcohol interferes with the excretion of uric acid from the body, which promotes the formation of uric acid crystals in the joints and tissues, causing pain and inflammation.

Which types of alcohol are allowed for gout?

Despite the restrictions, drinking some types of alcohol with gout is still acceptable. So, in reasonable doses, you can consume red wine, which contains useful substances such as polyphenols, resveratrol and anthocyanins.

You can also drink beer, but only light beer, because it contains less purines and uric acid than dark beer. However, even light beer should be drunk in moderation and only during periods when gout does not flare up.

What can be done to combine relaxation and health care?

If you suffer from gout but don’t want to give up alcohol during your holidays, you should limit your intake and choose only those that won’t aggravate your symptoms.

But it is important to remember that no alcohol can completely replace a healthy lifestyle, which includes proper nutrition, physical activity and drug therapy.

Rest and treatment: how to combine it with gout?

Avoid alcohol

Avoid alcohol when you have gout, as it can aggravate symptoms. However, if you can’t go on a vacation without alcohol, opt for low-purine drinks like vodka or gin. Do not drink beer and wine, as they are high in purines, which can aggravate the disease.

Drink plenty of water

It is important to keep the body hydrated, especially with gout. Drink plenty of water to get rid of waste and toxins that cause an exacerbation of the disease. Don’t forget the benefits of mineral water, which can help alleviate the symptoms of gout.

Choose specialist spas

If you want to treat gout while on holiday, choose specialized spas. They provide a wide range of medical services aimed at improving the condition of gout. In addition, you can choose resorts with a warm climate and thermal springs that can help treat the disease.

Diet

Proper nutrition plays an important role in the treatment of gout. Follow a diet that eliminates foods high in purines, such as meat, sardines, and shrimp. Instead, eat more fruits, vegetables, and grains. This will help reduce uric acid levels and relieve symptoms of gout.

  • Avoid alcohol or choose drinks low in purines
  • Drink plenty of water, especially mineral water
  • Choose specialized spas with medical services
  • Eat a diet free of high purine foods

What is gout

Gout, also known as gouty arthritis, is a metabolic disorder. It manifests itself in the form of an inflammatory process in the joints and often leads to severe pain.

Symptoms of gout can vary depending on the severity of the disease. But common signs are pain in the joints, swelling and redness of the skin, increased sensitivity and restriction of movement.

Managing gout can be challenging, but knowing what causes it and how to treat it can help reduce your risk. If you have gout, seek medical attention and make lifestyle changes to reduce your risk of getting the disease.

Causes of gout

Gout is a disease associated with impaired metabolic processes in the body. The main cause of gout is an increased level of uric acid in the blood, which occurs due to improper metabolism of purines. In this case, uric acid crystals are deposited in the joints, leading to painful symptoms and severe inflammation.

It is important to understand that gout is not just a disease of the joints, it is a serious disease that requires proper and timely treatment. Therefore, in case of pain in the joints, it is necessary to seek medical help in order to avoid possible complications.

Find out how alcohol affects blood counts in gout

Gout is a chronic disease that is caused by an imbalance in the metabolism of uric acid in the body. Few of us know that drinking alcohol can aggravate the condition of the disease and lead to acute gouty attacks. However, many continue to consume alcohol regularly without thinking about the consequences. But how does alcohol affect blood counts in gout?

Thus, if you suffer from gout, then drinking alcohol can negatively affect your disease. To avoid unpleasant consequences, we recommend limiting your alcohol consumption and consulting with your doctor about which drinks can be consumed safely.

Effects of drinking alcohol on gout

Gout is one of the most common metabolic diseases and its symptoms can be extremely painful. One of the factors that aggravate the situation is the use of alcohol.

Alcohol can damage kidney function, impair metabolism and affect the circulatory system, which can lead to gout complications. Limiting alcohol consumption will help to avoid aggravating your condition.

  1. Increased uric acid level. Alcohol can affect the metabolism of uric acid, which increases blood levels. This, in turn, can lead to gout.
  2. Weakening of renal functions. Drinking alcohol can lead to impaired kidney function, which aggravates gout.
  3. Deterioration of metabolism. Alcohol can have a negative effect on metabolism, which can also aggravate gout.

It must be understood that drinking alcohol can have serious consequences for gout. If you suffer from this disease, we recommend that you limit your alcohol intake and consult your doctor for advice on the treatment and prevention of gout.

Alcohol and gout: which alcohol contributes to the development of gout?

Alcoholic beverages are the most common cause of gout. However, the risk of gout increases with the consumption of certain types of alcohol.

  • Beer: is the main enemy for gout patients. Its use can cause violent attacks and increase the movement of uric acid in the blood. The content of purine compounds in beer increases the level of uric acid and stimulates its crystallization in the joints.
  • Wine: Drinking wine in moderation reduces the risk of developing gout, but drinking too much wine can backfire. Ethyl alcohol contained in wine can interfere with the excretion of uric acid from the body.
  • Ferret: a drink made from herbal ingredients such as barley, rye, corn, wheat. Ferret can cause gout, as it contains purine compounds that load the body with uric acid.

Output: Limit alcohol, especially beer and ferret. Give preference to red wine, but do not abuse it. These tips will help reduce your risk of developing gout and improve your overall health.
