So You Think You Want To Be A King? You Have To Have
The Alcohol And Gout To Prove It
I hate to disappoint you, but we won't be spending a lot of time on Alcohol and Gout. You've got gout, you drink. Right? Are you going to stop? Probably not. Do you drink too much? Maybe. Should you drink less? Probably. Is your lifestyle and your eating out of control? Well is it? Are you in denial? Just say "yes", because that makes you a pretty average American . . . or Canadian . . . or Italian . . . or . . . you know what I mean. So what are we going to do? As is the theme of my site, I'm not going to spout off a bunch of technical mumbo-jumbo about how much to or how much not to drink, or what's in this and not in that kind of crap, let's just get to something that you can actually get your mind wrapped around that will help keep you out of the gout zone.
You're going to get sick of hearing this . . . Drink More Water! And not just any water! "Tap" water is full of weird chemicals that just add to your free radical damage.
so do what you have to do; drink bottled water, filtered water . . . what ever you do, drink good water!
Whether it's beer, wine, whiskey, Ever-clear . . . doesn't matter; alcohol dehydrates. Dehydration brings on gout. Here is my one and only tip for you that I live by: - Before you start drinking, drink a big pint of good water. Period.
Most of the time, I drink more than I should just because I'm thirsty. What about you? More water, better hydration, less alcohol consumption, more urination. You take on less and you flush more, that's the theory. If you haven't been there already, click on any of the tabs for any of the following pages, they go hand-in-glove with this idea: Getting into this habit of drinking more water, especially before I start drinking, has made a huge difference for me . . . not to mention all the money it's saved me! Alcohol and Gout . . . Gout and Alcohol. They seem to go together!
