I rarely if ever drink tomato juice anywhere but on a plane, I think, as a previous poster mentioned one of those "hey that sounds good" that I probably wouldn't order if someone else hadn't mentioned it.

I am surprised no mention of tomato juice and beer, see this a lot in bars in the mornings (not that I've ever been in a bar in the morning.)

I always found it funny that mixing alcohol with tomato juice automatically makes it socially acceptable to drink alcohol in the morning. :p

I love tomato juice and V-8
 

It is tasty and good for you. Although try to get the low sodium versions.

Throw in some vodka and a celery shaft and I am a happy camper! :D

Quite often my first choice of drink in-flight. Make a great pre-flight drink vs. OJ if you can get it.
