Excess alcohol can do - if not directly, through an effect on bones and joints - only excess.

It may be that you've developed a sensitivity or allergy to some element of the wine.  I have a friend who gets the same symptoms because of sulfites in the wine.

Interesting! I don't think modereate alcohol consumption can affect "performance" so I would suggest seeing a doctor about it! Are you sure you are not under a lot of stress at the minute?

This sounds like it could be an allergic reaction.  Allergic reactions are hard to pin point, the only way you can tell is by experiementing and it looks like you have to a point. If it happens all the time then there is something in the wine that causes this reaction.  Champagne is much different than wine in the way it is processed.  It is less dence and much lighter. Many people are allergic to certian presseratives in wine.  Many will get headaches due to the additives.  It is knowing what is in it and what is causing it then you just avoid that additive. But like I said it will be by reading the label and then learning what effects you and what does not.\nThere is a compound in the skins of grapes that make many people get headaches and it is very common. Wines that contain\n sulfites can also have reactions.  These are more intense within red wines where champagne is made from light grapes and it is not as bitter because they dont let the skins set in the process as long.  That is why light colored wines are less bitter tasting and more sweet, the skin is what is bitter and in red wines skins are not removed for along time.\nThe type of wines and quality might make a difference too

No...gout is a increased amount of uric acid in your blood which causes crystals to lodge in joints...You will often \nhear gout being found in the great toe...painful, red and swollen...They can place you on pills and have you avoid certain foods such asw hot dogs, lunch meat, liver, etc...You will not die from it but it can be painful..sometimes stress can cause it.

drink 64 oz of water and 64 oz of cranberry juice today.  If it still hurts tomorrow, it's probably a back problem.

Recent research suggests drinking a glass of tart cherry juice might help defuse arthritis pain. Researchers from Michigan State University found anthocyanins, the same chemicals that give tart cherries their color, may have more powerful anti-inflammatory effects than aspirin. It's still unknown whether this might translate into pain relief for arthritis patients in the real world.

Gout is a form of arthritis that developes when there is a build up of uric acid in the blood. When the uric acid levels get high enough, it collects in the joints. The joint that is usually first and most severely affected is the big toe joint. As this uric acid collects in the toe joint, it forms crystals in the shape of a needle. These needle like crystals cause a stabbing pain , sometimes excruciating pain, plus swelling. The affected toe is like an inside out pin cushion. OUCH!!! \n\n95% of the Gout sufferers are men over 30. It is rare, but it does attack women also. Gout is closely related to the foods you eat. The natural approach to Gout would be to change your diet and increase your fluid intake. \n\nThere are foods that cause an increase in uric acid and they should be greatly curtailed from the diet. These foods are: \n\nanchovies, \nasparagus, \nherring, \nmeats & gravies, \nmushrooms, \nmussels, \nsardines, \nand alcoholic beverages, \nfried foods. \nThey should also try to avoid rich cakes and pies. \nSome studies have shown a vitamin deficiency of vitamin B5, vitamin A, and vitamin E contribute to the disease process of Gout. \n\nThere are foods that can neutralize the uric acid, so these can be eaten freely. They are: \napple cider vinegar,\ncherries, \ncherry juice, \ncelery, strawberries \navocados. \nIt is necessary to increase your water intake also as this will help flush the uric acid out. Herbs that help to neutralize the uric acid are alfalfa, burdock, hyssop and juniper. Alfalfa is the stongest of the mentioned herbs and the first choice. There are prescription drugs available from your doctor but please ask about the mild to serious side effects of these drugs.       \n* The information in this article should not replace the advice of your medical practitioner. \n\nLucinda Jenkins is an LPNHC and is the owner of Glenbrook Farms Herbs and Copyright © 2000, Lucinda Jenkins

I just went thru diabetes classes and they covered this. The amounts recommended for red wine is:\n\nMen--two 4 oounce glasses daily\nWomen--one 5 ounce glass daily\n\nRed wine will raise HDL cholesterol (the good choldesterol). BUT, if you have high triglycerides (200 or more), then you should NOT have red wine, or any alcohol. It will be more damaging at that point than helpful.

I haven't heard of that one before, but I have heard that it increases your chances of getting arthritis in your hands/knuckles.

To answer your question we need to understand first what is GOUT.\nGout is one of the most painful rheumatic diseases. It results from deposits of needle-like crystals of uric acid in connective tissue, in the joint space between two bones, or in both. These deposits lead to inflammatory arthritis, which causes swelling, redness, heat, pain, and stiffness in the joints. The term arthritis refers to more than 100 different rheumatic diseases that affect the joints, muscles, and bones, as well as other tissues and structures. Gout accounts for approximately 5 percent of all cases of arthritis.\nWhat is uric acid -Uric acid is a substance that results from the breakdown of purines, which are part of all human tissue and are found in many foods. Normally, uric acid is dissolved in the blood and passed through the kidneys into the urine, where it is eliminated. If the body increases its production of uric acid or if the kidneys do not eliminate enough uric acid from the body, levels of it build up in the blood (a condition called hyperuricemia). Hyperuricemia also may result when a person eats too many high-purine foods.\nWhat are the food high in purine - \nLiver \nFish \nBrewer’s yeast \nSpleen \nKidney \nMushrooms \nSoya\nremember it’s not what foods are high in uric acid! But their purine content that is important.Study demonstrates that consuming foods high in purines contributes to the amount of uric acid in the body and therefore predisposes a person to gout. \n\nSigns and Symptoms of Gout\nHyperuricemia\nPresence of uric acid crystals in joint fluid\nMore than one attack of acute arthritis\nArthritis that develops in 1 day, producing a swollen, red, and warm joint\nAttack of arthritis in only one joint, usually the toe, ankle, or knee \n\n\nhope i have help you understand about gout...

You can take some aspirin  or advil or ibuprfen to relieve some of the pain, but you are stuck with the red for a few days...

I will give you the exact reply.Nope,the grape juice is great to be taken not as you suggest in the evening,but in the mornings.And it really does mirracles.But it is not rich in anto-oxidants too much and as per them the foods,bevearages,where there are really pleanty of them are peppers,carrots,blackberry!!,strwaerries,etc.The scientific researches are shown that a glass of good red wine is a fine option,because is full of anti-oxidants and other substances,which are in immediate connection in anti-aging process,hindering the oxidation on the blood cells,etc.My pal,take into account that in some countries,like Italy and France doctors adviced and administered a to heart suffereing and other patients a glass of red wine.So CHEERS!
