Literally, what's your favorite juice.
I'm trying to cut out all the soft drinks and have for the most part. I'm looking for something to drink when thirsty other than water. I keep water in my cooler, but frequently want something different. I'd prefer something low in added sugar and something fruity.
What's you go to drink other than beer, liquor, soft drinks, and water.
I like a green tea. I buy the local store brand because it's made with sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup which I'm allergic to.
Some of the low sugar sports drinks.
I drink seltzer. This is my favorite flavor. I like that it comes in real aluminum cans so I'm not wasting plastic bottles but I should convert my old kegerator C02 bottle to just make my own fountain for it.
On a Friday like today I'll also flavor it with about 2oz of Tito's Vodka. Who am I kidding. 4oz of Tito's vodka.
Coffee from 7am to 8pm. Somehow I don't have kidney stones.
The little Mio bottles are pretty good for the most part if you're looking for a flavor adder for water.
Many juice drinks can have as much sugar as a soft drink.
My choice is simple cold water with lime in it. I also like lime flavored sparkling water (little cans of Perrier from Costco)
Pomegranate juice, whatever Tropicana single bottles are on sale at the time 5 for 5, watermelon juice has become a new favorite. And it is the season for Apple cider
Iced tea or iced coffee are my go to
Not much of a soda pop guy.
Most days I cross over from coffee to beer around 3pm.
I drink a lot of seltzer too, although I've found that Polar is not available everywhere - much to my wife's chagrin, now that we're moving to the west coast.
Apple juice. I like orange and pineapple but the acidity is more than I can take except in small doses. Cranberry and cranberry blends are good. I always make sure I get 100% juice and not the sugar laden "juice cocktail".
I get the "all fruit" juice like Knudsen and put about 3-5oz (90-150ml) in a glass of seltzer water. It's really good and low in sugar since it's diluted but still flavorful since the juice it's made with is potent. Stuff like black cherry or pomegranate are great like that.
Club soda/seltzer, preferable with a slice of lime.
The sodastream keeps me from needing to half fill the car with cans on every grocery trip.
Flavored water from Walmart. No calories and a good choice of flavors.
I drink earth juice. Most people call it water.
Since ive been cutting back on soda i drink alot of water and gatorade g2.
I swithed 3 gallons of diet mountan dew to water. I put the sugar free crystal flavor packs in a 2 liter, freeze half, and throw it in the lunchbox.
Right now lemonade from big lots is my favorite.
I make my own juices. Lately my favorite has been a combo of beets/carrots/apples. I call it Beetlejuice.
I thought this had something to do with O.J. Simpson getting out of prison 
A local company makes an orange/pineapple drink mix, it's real good!

I agree. TheAmerican Academy of Pediatrics thinks so too.
From the website:
“Parents may perceive fruit juice as healthy, but it is not a good substitute for fresh fruit and just packs in more sugar and calories,” said Melvin B. Heyman, MD, FAAP
The difference between soda and juice is carbonation.

That's the problem I'm running into. The grape juice I bought the other day has 45 grams of sugar in a 10 oz serving. That's as bad or worse than a Coke. Every time I drink one I hear this guy.
There are some good ideas in here I'll have to try.
Thanks for the suggestions.
As a diabetic, I don't drink juice. Well, I can, but I shouldn't. That stuff is packed with sugars/carbs.
But I do miss Welch's Grape Juice.
Ocean spray cran grape cut with water.
Jimmy was a vaper, and a discerning one at that.
I switched out all soda around 2010
I have a hard time drinking straight water unless I've mowed the lawn, or some other hot-outside thing.
Most of the time I'll drink french press coffee 'till about 5pm, I prefer the body of french press over most drip setups. After 5pm... depending on weather, I'll switch between some type of tea, or tea over ice with a bit of low-sugar limonade, or just ice/water/half-a-squeezed-lemon (0.5L). Crunching the ice breaks up drinking water and keeps it cold which... I dunno, makes it more fun/enjoyable... special?
Coffee. I was a Mt. Dew guy for years. Then Coke. I've gone away from caffeine a couple of times but I like the highs and lows of addiction and coffee is about the most benign of addictions.
