Ask Lemmy

I thought you meant when the fruit juice is hot, eg. mulled cider

Your body is craving for those electrolytes.

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 🤤

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 really wanted to like coconut water but it all just tastes like salt to me lol

No. I crave a colder location to live.

75f isn't very hot. That's 23c, there are many parts of the world where people would consider it very cold, and be bundling up sweaters.

You can acclimate, drink water and SALT! The salt is critical. It helps you regulate your own body temperature. You don't need the sugar.

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

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.

For a lemon, I like it hot. For other types of fruits, I would prefer it to be served cool.

I think that's your body telling you that you have low blood sugar.

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.

What do you think of cold coconut milk? Just as good shit, hopefully less sugar

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.

no

Water or Gatorade. I know it’s marketing hype; I just love the taste of the orange flavor.

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

I do but in Australia all juices are actually Apple plus another fruit, and they're too sweet so they can't help with feeling thirsty. Supermarkets are just a few owners so it's all like that.

Then there's a store called boost that has pre mixed blends of fruit, and has half a dozen that doesn't have any Apple in it.

In Brazil they have these kinds of stores everywhere and it's fresh fruit so your juice has exactly the fruits you want in it. Plus you can tell how much sugar you want, because it's not pre mixed and frozen it's so much better.

Edit: most juices in Australia. Like the label says cranberry, nothing more, and the ingredients are 90% Apple 10% cranberries.

crave fruit juice all the time, it's tasty

Yes! Particularly lemon and lime 🍋
