    As I mentioned above,

    This statement never made much sense to me. Ditto alcohol. If I drink 2 pots of coffee, I’m urinating till it’s crystal clear.

    Same if I drank 12 beers.

    It flushes your kidneys and removes more water than you consumed. Beer and coffee are a diuretic, does the same thing as taking water pills.
    If you get headaches after a night of drinking it’s caused by dehydration.
    Want to eliminate the headaches drink lots of water in between beers..

    I joke with mine that I knew that I married Mrs Right, but I didn’t know at the time her first name was Always.

    I have it as well. I got prescribed uloric and it works great to prevent flare ups. I can pretty much eat what ever I want. Talk to you doctor about it.

    That Uloric is the brand name for Febuxostat, which I see is prescribed for patients which allopurinol does not work/agree with.

    Were you previously on low dose allopurinol, or did your doc put you straight on to Uloric?
     
    4mer trucker and Oxbow Thank this.

    Sssh. He'll just post links to shady websites with articles covered in pop up advertising and paywalls, and recipes for ground up dried monkey balls to treat ED.
