Probably the answer is to drink it with meals, and brush immediately afterwards, rather than sipping throughout the day - it's the repeated bathing of teeth with acid (with nothing cleaning the acid off afterwards) that's problematic.

Kids continously slurping juice from bottles/toddler-cups is considered bad for the same reason...

My dentist actually told me to brush before rather than after drinking OJ (Mint and orange, joy) as the acid weakens the teeth. Bleh.

I was under the impression that it's bad to brush *immediately* afterwards as enamel is a little softer, and if you drin through a straw, the essects are reduced because the drink is directed away from your teeth.

The straw is an interesting idea...
