Over the furlough period I lost 1 and a half stones by not drinking. The 1st 3 weeks I kicked the arse out of it drinking far too much. I woke up during the night with the most agonising pain in my foot. Turns out I've got gout which I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. Made me stop drinking as that is a trigger for it. Just got it under control by slightly changing my diet and taking 400mg of alopurinol a day. Still enjoy a few pints now and again but don't drink in the house anymore.
