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.

      Have you ever had fresh coconut juice? Because it’s so much better than whatever that liquid is that they put in pre-packaged coconut water sold in non-tropical countries.

    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 🤤

    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.

    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.

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

    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

    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.
