I had a slight case of gout a long time ago... I was young, a little overweight, and did not drink alcohol at all. I had to change my diet and drink more water. It can become painful, but I don't think it is necessarily associated with alcohol or male or female. I think King Henry the VIII was famous for having gout due to his rich and excessive diet.
