    Is it possible to enjoy beer and treat gout? I’m 38 and started having painful debilitating attacks on my right foot about two years ago.

    My view of beer is that you should be able to drink within generally acceptable limits without affecting gout too much. It’s very much a personal thing, as it depends on your intake and on your uric acid levels.

    Managing gout is all about managing uric acid levels. Ignore people who say its all about beer drinking. It isn’t.

    You need an assessment of current uric acid. Assuming it’s too high, you need a plan for lowering it. That means a personal plan that can be based round medication, lifestyle improvements, or a mixture of both.

    Thanks Keith. I’ll be getting uric levels checked today, then will look into medication options.
