	Comments:	Looks ok. Seems to cover all the possibilities.

	Comments:	Presumably it has to contain fruit. Chocolate milk wouldn't be ジュース. I think "usu. fruit-based" should go on the first gloss. "Sweetened drink" is a more common term than "sweet drink".

	Comments:	sugary/sweet drink could apply to a milk, etc. drinks, which are not ジュース. Also many soft drinks don't actually use sugar. Maybe this works, but I'd prefer just "soft drink".

	Refs:	britannica: "Soft drink, any of a class of nonalcoholic beverages, usually but not necessarily carbonated..."
	Comments:	I don't think "soft drink" is wrong, but if people associate it firstly with carbonated drinks, that's less than ideal. To me, "lemonade" is a catch-all for fruit- flavored non-carbobated sugary drinks, not specifically a lemon-flavored beverage, but I realize now that might just be me...

	Comments:	I've never associated the term "soft drink" with carbonation. To me as a BrE speaker, lemonade usually is a carbonated drink. Why lemonade specifically, by the way?

	Refs:	enwiki: "A soft drink is a drink that usually contains carbonated water (although some vitamin waters and lemonades are not carbonated)..." ジュース is usu not used for carbonated drinks, so I think lemonade should lead. (confirmeｄ w native informer)
