Dear patient
It's mostly 1st metatarso phalanges joint inflammation and the most probable cause gout. Gout is condition in which blood level of uric acid increases and gets deposited in small joints in form of crystals. Alcohol consumption increase possibility of crystal deposition. I would like to advise you got rested for serum uric acid. And if it as increased Consult rheumatologist and he would guide you to start treatment for reducing blood level of uric acid.
