    I'm gonna agree about the OJ, iBrowse, I had a couple glasses with some BLTs today.



    That's right, Bacon, Lettuce, and Tomato

    IIRC, anything more than about an 8 oz glass of OJ per day is wasted (ie: peed out)

    the body seems to max out metabolizing a certain volume of vitamin C, then "vents" the excess



    nutrition specialists or docs feel free to chime in

    Not exactly true. The body can only absorb in the area of 8oz of liquid an hour, so if you were to drink an 8 oz glass of OJ every hour for say, 5 hours, your body would be able to absorb it, but obviously would put some out as waste too. As for the vitamin C, if each glass had 100% of your daily value of vitamin C you would put out somewhere in the area of 350 to 400% of the C as waste...your body would have nothing to do with it. So it's not just specific to OJ, but pretty much all liquids that eventually, you will just pee it out.



    In case your wondering, I'm a paramedic...so I know what I'm talking about, most of the time.

    Well I take vitamins everyday anyways, C included. But there's no limit to how much I can enjoy a day.

    Glorius Orange Juice. Without you, my vodka would suffer through a life of loneliness and isolation in my freezer.

    Passion Orange juice--good stuff. Best from the Hawaii brands, but Minute Maid makes a pretty good one too.

    OJ: Pulp is good! (This should be a poll.)



    Screwdrivers = Bad.

    Yes, fresh squeezed orange juice is the best. The supermarket variety doesn't even taste like orange juice. What's in it??



    My family owns coffee plantations south of Mexico. Whenever I visit, since we a full time cook there, Martha,

    always has a HUGE glass( "my" glass, 28oz)of freshly squeezed orange juice(with the little bits of pulp of course)for me for breakfast to go with the warm pancakes with fresh honey....mmmmmmm.



    Dual: that just sounds awfully painful man. Care for some doritos? just kidding!! Get well soon.

    Kind of a funny screwdriver story...



    In my hometown of The Pas, Manitoba, there was a guy and his friends who killed a young native girl with a screwdriver. My dad was in the guy's class, and basically everyone knew he was the guy, but he went for quite a while before getting busted. I'm sure any Canadians here remember seeing that damn movie Conspiracy of Silence on CBC over and over. (the movie sucked hard)



    My dad tells me that every weekend at the bar this Lee Colgan guy would literally end up with a table FULL of vodka and oranges. He'd be there trying to chill out in the corner at a table somewhere, and the waitress would come over with tray after tray of screwdrivers. People were sending them over for him. Frickin' hilarious. He ended up going a bit nuts with guilt and gave it up to the cops.
