I’ve been drinking so much coconut water (with pulp) this week. I’ve been craving it like crazy and realized that it’s straight up my drink of choice when the temp is 75F and over.

    Well, sure. It’s usually thickened, has chunks of fruit in it, and preferably has a little pastry crust on it. My favorite warm juice is called “pie”.

    (I have no problem with room temp (70-ish F) fruit juice, but I also often don’t care if beer or other beverages are room temp, too.)

    I’ve had powerful-but-temporary cravings for random specific beverages as long as I can remember. It’s usually something unhealthy.

    It’s been various things like a particular brand of sweet tea, fruit punch, Gatorade, Dr. Pepper, all sorts of stupid sugary things. The craving will hit me hard. Sometimes I’ll give into it for a while, and then I’ll quit. Once in a while it’s been a specific type of beer, but I’m not much of a booze drinker. The sodas are the worst, because they are so addictive, and the sodium in them makes you thirsty, and they are horrible for your health.

    Trying to stick to nothing but water these days. I really hate it, but it is helping my ‘lab numbers’ when I go see the doc.

      In winter i drink at least half of my water intake as tea on average. In winter you are rarely as thirsty as in summer when it‘s hot so it‘s nice to have some water with flavour. I highly reccomend brewing tea with loose leafs instead of bags because these en-masse fabricated tea bags just taste horrible in comparison

    Hydrohomie here, buckets of ice and carbonated water. Fruit juice is too much fructose for me, and it attracks wasps.

    I love cold coconut water when it’s hot. I believe it’s full of hydrating electrolytes and it’s not too sticky sweet.

    So I get the appeal of coconut water when it’s hot, but not so much other fruit juices like pineapple, orange, grape, and apple. They’re just too sweet for me.

    Ice cold coconut water is my drink of choice as well. No ice cubes, just straight from the fridge (ideally still within the coconut if accessible for you), else a bottled 100% one without additives.

    Other juices don’t really interest me, they are all too damn sweet.

    The only thing I crave when it’s hot is water. Juice is tasty, but it is not thirst quenching or cooling. If I’m trying to cool off or hydrate, I don’t want anything with sugar (or sugar substitutes) in it.

    I do drink a lot of pineapple juice in most other situations, though. I love pineapple 🤤

      Sugar helps you process the salts in things like gatorade. So if you’re properly dehydrated go for the full sugar gatorade/powerade.

    Not typically as most juices are super sweet. I have started to appreciate seltzer beers like White Claw on a hot day but typically carry water around with me 24/7
