What foods are bad for gout and which are good?

lists of foods to avoid in gout are all over the internet; shrimp, lobster, alcohol and many more are listed. However, I used to suffer from gout, but I've found that if I have a rich dinner UNFRIENDLY to gout I never get gout. My secret is drinking at least ten glasses of water during and after the meal. The other day I had a lobster dinner with stuffed shrimp, crab and several whiskey sours -- no gout!
