Tell that to the folks with the rheumatoid disease called gout.

They’d love to have a beer but alcohol is the number one cause of gout.

See...Theresa Heinz had the right idea when she not only ate those 9 gin soaked raisins but drank the fifth of gin she soaked them in!

Even if it doesn't cure your arthritis, if you follow her directions, you won't feel it anyway.

Well, if it’s true I figure by now my chances of developing rheumatoid arthritis must be right around my chances of being struck by lightning. At the bottom of the ocean.

Now I feel better about the recent taste for dark rum and mango juice I have acquired. Maybe it's a seasonal thing.
