I was just trolling my site statistics (as I do from time to time) when I discovered that someone found their way to this site by Googling ‘flexible spending account beer.’ I have no idea what (exactly) they were after, but I would imagine that someone out there has a big weekend planned, and they’re looking to make creative use of their FSA. If only that were possible… Maybe with a note from your doctor?

As a nurse, I can tell you that beer and wine can be prescribed! It typically applies to patients who are being treated for alcohol withdrawl, or who convince their doctor they drink a glass of wine a day for medicinal purposes. The kicker… alcohol is prescribed from pharmacy (in a medical facility). It would would in fact show up on a bill as pharmaceutical. Not sure how much that would actually impact an FSA, but it makes for good bar trivia!
So is this in anyway related to share draft checking? If so, there’s trouble brewing.
I use beer as a painkiller so I can deduct it from my FSA. 🙂
If they find out how to do it, I hope they share the procedure.
