What about Mike's Hard Lemonade?

 

[Medalion]

On the other end of the spectrum, even though I have not had a kidney stone (yet), I would gladly take millions to receive one. Under any other circumstances, hell no. I will start drinking some lemonade each day to help prevent this. I have heard enough horror stories as it is.

A million dollars to HAVE a kidney stone?

Sounds like a great reality tv show

Sure beats the daily grind at $30k/year. millions to be able to retire, right now, for ~1-2 weeks of pure pain and agony? I can do it.

 

[Deified Data]

I would give anything to not have to pass a kidney stone.

I wouldn't be so sure... no matter how tough anyone thinks they are, enduring the kidney stone is enough pain for some people wanting to kill themselves I've heard

 

[jchap]

I eat / drink the juice of about a dozen lemons a week! Love very sour lemon water and iced tea with lemon. Finally something I consume that isn't going to make me die a decade early. Of course I put salt in my lemon water... Maybe the citrus somehow cancels it out...

 

[Ciastek3214]

Every time one of these threads comes up I get goosebumps and go and drink a huge glass of filtered water. Damn, stones sound scary.

And they are. After getting one, I was scared shitless everytime my back started to hurt. Shit's no good I tell you that.

Yeah and with-in 10 minutes you'll be paying double to have the pain removed

Put it this way

Tell a UFC fighter to punch you near your Kidney area, numb that area up good, then follow that line to your nether region, him whacking along the way

Then take a blunt knife and start carving that numbed area

Throw some salt on that wound and take a bath in acid

Can something like this also help?

Potassium Citrate tablets

I've heard that it's more painful than giving birth

 

[DietRob]

Water, I usually just drink water.

 

[ThatGayWolf]

But lemonade is disgusting.

What thef uck

 

[TheApatheticOne]

Got my first kidney stone a few months ago. I have a pretty high pain threshold, and I dont say that to portray myself as some tough guy, but the kidney stone had me in more pain than I can ever remember being in WHILE on prescription pain meds.

I cried at certain points, sometimes even in the fetal position. So for those who find themselves with one, best of luck and Im so, so, so sorry.

 

[Ganhyun]

I've heard that it's more painful than giving birth

Well technically you are giving birth to a stone when it happens.

But yes, these suck ass. I hated having one. Most pain I've ever been in and I managed to tear every ligament in my right knee when i was a teenager.

 

[fredrancour]

Well, I never add salt when I cook for myself, but I often resort to prepared food because of college. Need to get that sorted out. Also, I prefer to drink large amounts of water anyway.


Still, if salt intake affects kidney stones, I know how my mother got some. All them goldfish crackers.

 

[jb1234]

Yup. I've convinced that there's nothing that gives a person empathy for suffering faster than a kidney stone.

 

[highrider]

What about Limeade? I love me some Limeade...

Limeade is the superior drink. Lemon growers just had better marketing.

 

[Lumpy Onion]

Aw yeah.

I drink this shit all the time. My wiener thanks me.

One of my favorites. Mix it with some crystal geyser and it becomes the ultimate beverage. By itself just tastes too sweet for my tastes.

 

[Corky]

Leeemonaaaade that cool refreshing drink.

 

[BLACK AMERICAN PSYCHO]

But lemonade is disgusting.

Fuck outta here

Orange juice > lemonade, all day err'day. I'll take my kidney stone risk.

Die

Aw yeah.

I drink this shit all the time. My wiener thanks me.

Yup

 

[Korey]

Limeade is the superior drink. Lemon growers just had better marketing.

not sure limeade counts. They specifically said lemonade over other citrus drinks. Unless lemons and limes are basically the same thing?

 

[out0v0rder]

 

[ClassyPenguin]

Aw yeah.

I drink this shit all the time. My wiener thanks me.

This, vodka, crushed iced and mint leaves. Fucking godly.

 

[DevelopmentArrested]

I drink 2L of water every day but im scared shitless because my dad gets them all the time

Help me GAF. Need to get rid of salt in my diet i guess. Have some back pain too, uh oh.

 

[Huevos de Oro]

Iced cold lemonade is the drink of the gods. I bet when they're chilling at the Olympus, naked and watching whatever gods catch on TV, they drink lemonade.

 

[Candeldandel]

Limeade is the superior drink. Lemon growers just had better marketing.

Yes, limeade = best ade. I actually didn't know so many people liked it; everyone I know still likes lemonade better.

 

[Nuklear]

Aw yeah.

I drink this shit all the time. My wiener thanks me.

I prefer the Raspberry version of the stuff but both are really good!

 

[kingdaddy157]

But lemonade is disgusting.

Lemonade is one of the best juices ever!

 

[deadlast]

I had a kidney stone once. If I have to eat a whole lemon everyday for the rest of my life, then that is what I will do.

 

[FinKL]

Avoid kidney stones by drinking lemonade, get diabetes instead.
Seems like an advice dog caption if I ever saw one.

Exactly what I was thinking. It's so sugary...

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Pink Lemonade >>> Lemonade

 

[akachan ningen]

orange have citrate too. eating an orange is a lot healthier than drinking lemonade.

 

[NoirVisage]

Yeah, your body is ready for diabetes...

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

Exactly what I was thinking. It's so sugary...

Make your own?

 

[nilbog21]

any beverage that is acidic will help prevent kidney stones, fyi.. I would dilute the lemonade that is sold in stores because it has a lot of sugar

I myself prefer a glass of cranberry juice in the morning

 

[Srsly]

Prevent kidney stones, get diabetes and rot your teeth out

 

[Korey]

Prevent kidney stones, get diabetes and rot your teeth out

Use a straw.

 

[beast786]

Where does pink lemonade stands in grand scheme?

 

[nhlducks35]

But lemonade is disgusting.

 

[rjc571]

I'm sure it's been mentioned by now, but there are several different types of kidney stone, and while drinking lemon juice will prevent some kinds of stones, it will make other kinds more likely to develop.

Want a better way to prevent kidney stones? Don't drink soda, especially the kinds with phosphoric acid (e.g. coke, pepsi, dr. pepper, etc.)

 

[Scuderia]

I'm stock buying that shit after those pics in the other thread.

 

[squidyj]

Orange juice > lemonade, all day err'day. I'll take my kidney stone risk.

I don't even know how you could be more wrong. I mean, oranges are still citrus fruits and will still work to help reduce your risk of kidney stones.

 

[MuddyDonut]

One of my biggest fears in life is kidney stones. I blame Reba.

 

[cacophony]

 

[McLovin]

I looooooooooooooove lemonade... but I can't have it every day like that. Too much sugar.

 

[Medalion]

Diabeetus...vs Kidney Stone

the choice is clear

 

[Korey]

I grabbed the last Minute Maid lemonade from my grocery store. It has the most % lemon juice out of all the ones they had (12%)...Simply Lemonade only has like 5-10%?
