Dear Dean, I'm a beer and coffee lover as well as a gout victim - I'm the whole bloody deal - your avatar you've written this article for, and yes, I did get that, a few times already, and I can tell you how I can relate to your poor father... it sucks... while I'm more a double-shot espresso drinker, I'll give it a try to switch to more lattes now. I trust your research and insights and hope you've not inherited this terrible trait from your dad? Stay save and thanks for sharing this story today!
