Why do some people order cranberry juice instead of alcohol at a bar?!


Question:

Why do some people order cranberry juice instead of alcohol at a bar?

does it affect your body in some way similar to alcohol or is it just something to drink?


Answers:
Probably because it looks like a cocktail. But also a lot of people drink cranberry juice because it helps prevent urinary tract infections. And some folks just like the stuff. As for me I like Cran Apple.

When I am not drinking in a bar or at a party I order Grapefruit Juice mixed with OJ. and Cranberry Juice. It is tasty and good for me.

I don't drink much these days. I am 65 and would like to live a lot more years. Too much Booze is bad for the bod.

Yes, you do get a sugar rush. But raspberry lemonade is better ;-)

maybe they dont drink but still want to look like they are having a good time with a drink. no it doesnt affect ur body like alcohol.

maybe they are the designated driver, maybe they don't care for alchohol but want to be with friends who do. Could be a lot of reasons for this. My friend goes to the bar and drinks diet coke because he is diabetic.

Maybe because cranberry juice is good for you and alchohol isn't?

Isn't slo gin RED
many people want the companionship from the bar crowd BUT not the worry of a DUI.

The cranberry juice must be well aged since it hasn't been touched in years cuz its a bar

Just something to drink. They just may not want to drink alcohol, but be at a bar for the socializing.

I guess it's something to just drink. I typically ask for Cranberry juice and vodka. It's just about blending in I guess.

Cranberry juice helps with Urinary Tract Infections, so you know who has been sleeping around a lot. They will order that instead of a yeasty drink like beer. Just a thought.

HERE IS THE TRUTH!!! i hang out in a few bars with friends. i dont drink (weired i know) i get tired of everyone hounding me to get a drink. soooooo, i get a cranberry juice with maybe a little water. so that way it looks like i am drinking a mixed drink but i am not. so not only is it good for you it also tastes good and i dont become an alcoholic.

I think it's just something to drink and it's something that other people will think you are drinking alcohol but you're not. I think it's kind of like people that keep a cigarette in their mouth and don't light it because they don't smoke. They just want to give off the impression they do.

Well, I love cranberry juice and I love going to bars when I have a babysitter. (so like never) =). If I am driving I wont drink and I will get juice. But like right now I am pregnant and so am the driver. Well that's 2 reasons now for me to get the juice. And I don't like alcohol that much anyway. Some people are more responsible than others. At times anyway. I have totally lost it at bars before and not too proud of it.

Because they don't want alcohol. No, it has absolutely no effect similar to alcohol. It's effects are more similar to orange juice or apple juice or juicy juice or hawain punch, etc.

Because they put something good in their body.
