GPs blast drink loyalty points

CITY GPs have said alcohol should be exempt from supermarket loyalty points schemes.

Speaking at a conference on alcohol, which recommended ways of reducing access to cut-price drink, Dr Catriona Morton said: "Alcohol misuse doesn't just affect the drinker, but also those around them.

Supermarkets offer special promotions to encourage bulk buying of cheap alcohol. Stopping loyalty points would be a tiny reminder of harm caused."
