Gout Maybe: If you have gout, drinking alcohol and eating meats will make your attacks more frequent. Alcohol makes a person urinate more, I am sure you have noticed this. When a person urinates more than normal they may become dehydrated, which is not good for gout. Also the meat byproducts in your body will produce more uric acid.
