The Cranbeery Juice Saga
So...Tonight I went down to get another glass of water and thought "Hmm, a glass of cranberry juice sounds really good." But then I thought "well I better not drink cranberry juice, a lot of calories and sugar you know."
After contemplating the juice for awhile I thought to myself "you are too much." Worrying about one glass of cranberry juice after years of 3,4,5 or more glasses of wine a night plus several hits off my vodka, yet it never crossed my mind how many calories that added up to... Rationalize that.

I read somewhere that cranberry juice was fantastic for the immune system in recovery. I'd been throwing the stuff back for a couple weeks when I finally took a closer look at the bottle... only 15% juice! D:
Still, a hell of a lot better than the PBR I was drinking before. I think, for us, cranberry juice calories shouldn't count.

Depends on the season of the year (holidays) I need smell the juice before having a drink. If my sons get together, they have a habit of spikeing the juice for the evening.

In sobriety....OJ just doesn't taste right

Today I went through my local grocery store aisle of wine and beer and imagined that I had probably consumed everything there within the last two years - the equivalent anyways - and pissed it out to nothing. Yikes.
Fwiw, I've yet to find any real cranberry juice that is 100% cranberry. Not likely to anytime in the near future either. It's all hfcs/apple juice/mixed concentrates and crap like that you know.
Ha - try finding 100% grapefruit juice, even from concentrate! That stuff ain't cheap!
Lol!
