My husband has hex of gout no attacks for 4 years til today. had 4 drinks the other night (rarely drinks) could that have yriggered this?

Yes.: Apart from not drinking, he should be on Allopurinol (generic) or uloric. In addition, he should have Colchicine available. If he is not on a uric acid lowering agent, he is not being treated correctly!
