Patients who develop joint pain after drinking beer may be due to the presence of gouty arthritis and cold joints, as follows: First, gouty arthritis: Some patients may have induced an attack of their original gouty arthritis after drinking beer, which then led to joint pain. This type of patient may already have a similar medical history before the onset of the disease, or have a long history of elevated uric acid. After drinking beer, it may lead to a relapse of the original condition, which in turn leads to joint pain. Second, cold joints: Some patients may experience cold joints after drinking beer, which may lead to joint pain. After drinking alcohol, these patients may expose part of their joints and have sweating on the surface of the joints, which can lead to cold in the joints and sterile inflammation inside the joints, resulting in soreness and pain.
