OP here.  I don't get why I'm so unusual.  Why is dessert served at the end of a meal--because people want something sweet and sugary.  Well I usually eat fruit for dessert but prefer something sweet and sugary with the meal (i.e. juice).  I also don't find water at all thirst quenching, it's very dry.  If it's a 90 degree day and I've been outside water does not quench my thirst, but lemonade does.  I rarely drink soda but instead buy a lot of organic juices from Trader Joes. I don't see anything wrong with this at all.  I just find it intersting that so many people aren't like this.  I will say though that growing up my parents always had sugary drinks in the fridge so maybe that's why.[/quote]
OP, it's not about logic...it's just reality.[b] The majority of people don't like what you like. It doesn't make you a bad person or wrong...it just means that you are unusual. Dinner hosts aren't catering to your tastes, because very few other people have them. [/b]

But I do find it very odd that you say water doesn't quench your thirst. Physiologically, that doesn't make sense. And if you are truly dehydrated, then sugary drinks alone are insufficient to replenish you since you need salt/electrolytes. In India, people make lemonade with sugar and salt, which is actually the right combination to rehydrate you (similar to what's in pedialyte or gatorade). Some people genuinely don't like water, and it sounds like you are one of them. But you have to recognize that in DC in 2018, you are in a tiny minority.[/quote]
