I recently got gout when I really pushed my body hard by running 4x my normal distance in one week, still worked out, kept eating lots of junk (lots of sugary stuff), and drinking 3-4 drinks a night regularly. I also got a cold. Right after that, I got hit with massive toe pain on one foot.
Thankfully it was just a little bit of prednisone but it caused me to back off drinking and eat less sweet things. I'm relatively fit (~35" waist, 203-205ish pounds at 6'1"), but I also dropped down about 5 pounds (was about 208-210) after that and will probably continue to lose more.
