If you're thirsty, is drinking V8 a good choice of drink?

[Deja Q]

Poll question: If you're thirsty, is drinking V8 a good choice of drink?

Answer in a moment!

1. 880 mg of sodium in a single can?

Not so good for the thirsty, that.

[El Supremo]

2. Not bad if you're hungry though.

3. A V8 could mean so many different things now...

The V8 Splashes are GREAT when you're thirsty.

9. That came to my mind also. As I often drink one then.

4. The stuff is nothing more than salt water with some colouring.

5. I like V8 with Tabasco when I'm hungover.

But as a drink when you're just thirsty? No, not really.

[cheezus]

8. oh yuck.

the last drink I want when hungover is one that tastes like a bloody mary

[Blue-Jay]

10. No yuck!

A bloody Mary is the BEST for a hangover, but a spicy V8 will do just fine on work-days! :D

Trust me, I'm a pro!

6. Water is best when thirsty

7. Ack!

I would be more thirsty. This is why I drink it with ice. :hi:

[bigwillq]

11. That would be NO

At least for me. I don't know very many people who would think that V8 is a thirst quencher but Differnt Stokes....

[Cuban_Liberal]

12. WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY too much sodium!

Try plain water. :)

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

13. I don think swallowing a car engine is good for your health (nt)

[Debi]

14. V8 and Vodka...Yummm

Oops, wrong thread!!

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

15. the low-sodium version is good, but not for thirst

And contrary to their advertising, V-8 is not a beverage you drink with a meal. It *is* the meal.

[supernova]

17. 2nd vote for low sodium version

And I agree V8 is more the savory version of Ensure, a kind of solid food replacement.

I do like it though! :9

Makes a great Bloody Mary and soup stock!

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

18. Soup stock? That never occurred to me but I think I'll try it

Thanks for the tip! :hi:

[khashka]

16. Not for thirst

but with vodka and a splash of Tabasco it makes a great lunch!

Khash.

[amazona]

19. I like it but if I'm actually thirsty I also drink water

If you've lost a lot of salt sweating or something, it might be good for thirst, but I think it is really just for the taste -- something nice to drink that is lower calorie than other juices.
