So...do YOU drink juice? ;)

[Nancy]

Yeah, occasionally. I like orange and apple juices. No mixes or blends.

My kids like orange, apple, and white cranberry/raspberry.

They have had juice since they were little, none of them go overboard with drinking it since they got older. They drink, milk, water, ice tea, and they LOVE Starbucks. My DH likes his OJ. I can't drink a lot of OJ, the acids in it make me sick, but so does eating fresh oranges or tangerines.

Not very often. When I get a cold, I like Minute Maid OJ -- it's the only thing I want to drink when I have a cold. Sometimes when we go out to eat for breakfast, I'll get one, but only if they have Minute Maid.

Other than that, I'm a big water and milk drinker -- plus iced tea & caffeine free Pepsi.

 

[Nancy]

sometimes I'll get on juice kicks and buy it all the time...other times I won't.


umm...did I miss something? what's wrong with juice?

There was another post on here about giving kids juice. I was amazed at how many parents don't allow their kids to drink it at all. My kids always had juice when they were little, not all the time, but at least once a day.

I occasionally get a craving for apple juice and just have to have some. I might drink a little OJ or grapefruit juice when we have breakfast out.

 

[Kermit]

Generally no. I'll drink it occassionally, but it probably comes to about 1-2 quarts per year.

We do drink a lot of smoothies made with fruit and plain yogurt in the blender. That doesn't count as "juice" though because it includes the fruit pulp, and since it isn't heated, the form of sugar isn't as bad.

I like a splash of Ruby Red Grapefruit juice in my G&T.

 

[RadioNate]

no, not really. I'll have orange juice every so often, but I don't drink it normally. I only drink orange juice and don't drink any other juice.

same for me

 

[Maleficent13]

Yes. I like the clear juices (apple, grape). Not into anything thick or pulpy.

 

[experiment626mom]

I drink juice all the time.

 

[Bob Slydell]

Yep, all the time -- usually I'l drink it with my son for breakfast.

 

[mom23boys]

I rarely drink juice. It is usually water or diet soda/iced tea for me.

 

[diznygirl]

We are juice drinkers around this house. Sometimes you just have to break up the monotony of water with a big ol' glass of Hi-C!

 

[Tigger&Belle]

I voted yes because I do not abstain from juice, but I don't have it often. When I do I like not-from-concentrate OJ, with pulp (kids don't like pulp, though, so usually we compromise and buy low pulp). When I'm feeling, uh, a little "feminine" I drink cranberry juice. I try to keep a spare bottle of cranberry juice in the house just in case, but my kids kept drinking it. I had to explain some women issues to my boys. Was that ever a funny conversation!

I hate apple juice and don't really like grape juice. I like grapefruit juice, but don't normally buy it. I like Sunny D, but it's not exactly juice.

 

[CharlesTD]

Oj with pulp and apple juice and water most of the time. I don't do coffee anymore and tonnes of milk.

 

[Grumpy's Gal]

yes, OJ. Keeps the colds away.

 

[Beth76]

I stopped drinking juice when I was pregnant with my first son. I was sick and kept drinking OJ. After I talked to my OB she told me not to drink juice because it's just sugar and empty calories. I drink mostly water now. We sometimes have Crystal light and I'm really liking the new Coke and Sprite Zero.

 

[DisneyCP2002]

I drink juice on occassion. Usually either Grape or Apple but sometimes Orange as well.

 

[icebrat001]

I drink juice a lot. Sometimes I'll have a coke. I drink 1 48 oz slurpee a day, and I chew 3 lbs of crushed ice a day, I do not like plain water so I add crystal light.

I am also a preschool teacher, we serve the kids milk, water or 100% juice. The children always have a main dish, a veggie and a fruit.

 

[momof3disneyholics]

Every chance I get!

I usually just drink water but this time of year we do keep a gallon of fresh (with no preservatives) apple cider in the fridge, yum. I also will drink heated cider or apple juice when I am sick (particularly with a sore throat) since I don't like tea and it feels good on my throat. Occasionally I'll have some OJ with breakfast when I am out but we don't really keep it in the house. My husband would drink a gallon of juice a day if we kept it around that much.
