   If you follow a #Kosher food/diet (for whatever reason, like health or religious) and you want to eat outside:

   Me: Does this have pork/shellfish/shrimp/etc.? Oh, none? That's great!

   If you also have #gout, like me:

   Me ordering food in a Seventh Day Adventist canteen: Do you have anything not made with soya?

   Or, in a non-vegetarian restaurant:

   Me: Does this have beef/tilapia/sardines/seeds/beans/innards/etc.? Ok, not that, I have gout. How about this?

   If you join a party (company or some event) and someone offers you an alcoholic drink:

   Me: I'm sorry but I have gout.

   Them: Just one bottle.

   Me: Umm… *smiles* I really can't.

   Them: Come on. Just one sip. I'll give you ₱2,000 raise.

   Me: Thank you for the offer, but I really can't.

   Them: Plea…

   Me: I'm this close into cursing you to experience what it feels like to have gout flare-ups.

   :p

     @hackbyte Yep.

     I can live with having a different diet, like in my case, Kosher food. But #gout? It greatly limited the food I can eat, and if I don't pay attention, I get flare-ups. The pain ranges from 7 to 9 usually. Worse is if I get two - foot and knee.
