For gout, I keep a supply of Indocin handy. I get probably an attack a year. It will take you from being able to run with 18 year olds to practically speaking, crippled.
Beer can be a contributor to higher levels of uric acid so you have to watch what you mix. Avoid certain types of seafood (google it). It's taken me a while but I have been able to track back eating X and then having a few brews to attacks. It can come on that quick.
I also got Pseudogout in the knee once. Had to get it drained / get a cort shot to get past it.
Gout is no joke.
