What do we drink?

17% drink vegetable juices! I'm surprised it's so high.

I LOVE tomato juice and V8. I could drink it all day. But when I take it through the checkout counter at the grocery store, people look at it as if it's from a different planet. (while unloading their Coke and flavored milk...)

this is interesting

where I work we can have water bottles with us

drunk in the break room.

just tacking on here ... but almost every place I go when in a meeting water bottles are acceptable and most people have them. When going out to a business luncheon most people order water with lemon or lime. Needless to say, coffee is usually available in conference rooms and at trade shows.

I don't see as much soda being consumed and on airplanes it appears that a lot of people are ordering juices.

Ah, now I know that I am in the refreshing 17% catagory....

Although, I occassionally sip bottled water, and, my one vice, a rootbeer occassionally..And lately, I have been looking at green teas...

Fruit juices are enjoying a revival in popularity since a recent study indicated that those who drink fruit juice daily are less likely to suffer memory problems in old age. I believe I've heard reference to a study that also shows that fresh fruit has the same benefit.

All the above info comes from broadcast media - the "bible" of the modern age for the weaker minded.

This is written from a privileged country where the tap water is safe to drink - I think the trade in bottled water in places like Australia is a big commercial windfall. Some studies have shown the tap water to be just as 'safe'.

Having said that I have drunk a lot of bottled - or boiled - water over the last few weeks and my other favourites go well in this group, tomato juice and the occasional root beer or sarsaparilla.

I normally buy my V8 at the convience store in the morning with my breakfast taco. I rarely buy it at the grocery store. I buy bottled water too and kick myself everytime I do. We buy the 5 gallon bottled water for our home because, while our tap water is safe, it tastes like the the river it comes out of. I get my 5 gallon jug refilled for 75¢ so I hate paying $1.19 for a 20 oz bottle at the convience store.

Rootbeer is my weakness too. I try to only drink diet. I eat enough calories as it is, I don't need to drink more.
