I posted photos of the fruit juices I commonly consume in the ingredients thread, but offer them up here, where they ought to be covered.

I only drink 100% juices or juice blends and avoid the high fructose corn syrup stuff. As a military veteran, I have had talks with VA dieticians and can tell you that some recommend the high fructose stuff. I just don't like those.

Orange Juice

There are many other juice varieties that I regularly buy into and consume as well, like tomato juice, clamato juice, lemon enchinacea, blueberry juice, strawberry banana - and so forth. I like variety in my beverages.

I use some juices for both drinking and flavoring foods.

They taste great and back in the day I use to use a juicer but unfortunately they're off my list of foods to consume simply because I generally don't drink calories except alcohol and I'm lower carb a well. Also not a fan of fructose in general. I do consume limited amounts of fruit seasonally.

Actually, because I am borderline diabetic (type 2), I water down my fruit juices, except for orange juice, grapefruit juice and tomato juices, by mixing equal parts of the juice and water. It still tastes good, but with a milder sweetness. And as a benefit, the juice goes further for the buck.
 
Not much of a juice person, but I do love fresh orange juice and pineapple juice. I have pineapple in my fridge ATM. Wife just doesn't buy it. She only drinks water or hot Choc.

Juices are pretty cool, I like the exotic versions with mango, guava, passion fruit etc. But they're indeed high in calories and good quality juices are expensive so my beverage of choice is always water.

I mix a lot of juices 50:50 with water. But I would not do that for all of them. I like mango juice straight up, particularly over vanilla ice cream.
 
I've taken a shine to the Ocean Spray Cran-Cherry Light. I too do about 50/50 juice to water, or just over ice and let it melt a bit. really refreshing.

I use a lot of the Nellie & Joes with baking.
 
Fresh fruit is so cheap and so easily available here that most people make their own. Watermelon, for example: remove the rind and seeds, blitz in a blender with added sugar if you want, a bit of water if necessary - that´s it. There are loads of snack bars here (mostly offering arepas and empanadas) which serve fresh orange, guava, melon, passion fruit, pineapple, strawberry, mango, pawpaw juice.
 
Here are a couple more juices ...

Apple Juice
 
Mix that V8 with orange juice, then serve it as a side to a good glass of tequila. You won´t be disappointed.
