Lets be honest, your doctor wasn't advising you to drink at all. The advice was that if you can't resist, go for a drink with a lower carbohydrate load as diabetic neuropathy beckons. So do yourself a favour and stop drinking full stop, your bank balance will certainly be better off.

I too was a bit caught by the minimum spend for points voucher - but I was happy with my purchase price for the Drambuie and port I bought so the points would have been no more than a bonus.

. My Doctors a bigger drinker than me . I usually consume no more than 15 units a week. Alcohol is nt a problem , nor is saving money as I m pretty well off. For my age I m as fit as a fiddle, got a job where I walk the streets all day every day over 15 miles a day on average. I m 6 ft, 10 stones, non smoking, perfect blood pressure. My own Doc says I m their star diabetic with a perfect diet anyway, a little tipple now and then isnt doing me any harm.. I m just interested why on earth Sainsburys have singled out the strong stuff to stop promotions on and leaving wine/beer off the list Thanks for the advice but no thanks. Now you do me a favour and get on the laptop and email Sainsburys and complain about picking on Spirits/ Liqueurs for no good reason. I ve been in today and the staff are still saying they had no option to stop points on spirits as its a government law. Thats what I object to..passing the buck and blaming the law when its their own policy to go "over and above " what the law required

This might be a daft question but can I spend Nectar points I have already collected on alcohol ie. does this only apply to collecting points?

You have to remember Sainsbury's political roots and affiliations. Nannying is part of the package.

Yet another reason to shop elsewhere.
