Orange juice..why?

I get asked all the time why I drink orange and soda and not beer like everyone else.

I have a problem that I get few chances to deal with. I also don't know enough and need information to help fix this problem. The person involved in the problem has become intimidating in a way over time and a little scary.

IF I drank I would forget important information or not see subtle stuff that could help me work this person out, both I have done after a few beers.
IF I drank I could get over my caution and do or say something wrong out ofpure frustration and screw up everything completely. I have come close there too since I am on edge a lot and it doesn't take much to break the camel's back when you're drunk.
IF I drank I could miss a chance to do something good, being drunk and having a rare chance at onversation with this other person would be a bad idea. Easier due to Dutch courage, but not wise...and harder to remember. It's too important to risk screwing up.

I don't need booze...don't like being drunk..don't like drunks. A few drinks in moderation or a rare party in good spirits..fine. Habitual drunkeness is pathetic. Common here too.

I drink from time to time to help me sleep when I'm having trouble. Rarely other times...not a zealot or anti-booze, just not for me in excess TYVM. Orange is fine.

It's not cheaper either for those thinking that, you drink a lot faster ...so it's about the same.

No-one steals you drink when you're on orange :)
