I had to quit alcohol because of gout.
Only once in a while did I ever drink a soda, so that's not a problem giving up. Only once in a while did I ever eat red meat, so that's not a problem giving up either.
Haven't had a flare up since I stopped drinking alcohol, so I'm guessing that was the issue.
