Nah, it wasn’t something that — as far as I can recall, at any rate — I picked up anywhere, started doing it on my own. I also like drinking diet tonic water straight. In general, most Americans prefer a very sweet orange juice — which I’d swear has gotten sweeter over my lifetime — and this ramps up the sour a bit.
Tangentially related, I like adding Tonic water to sodas as a way of making them more bitter/less appetizing as a way of forcing me to drink less and slow down. Usually a 50/50 mixture and it effectively turns a 6pk of bottles into a 12

I distinctly recall grapefruit juice being more sour when I was younger. Unless it’s just my sense of taste changing. shrugs
Hmm interesting.
