One very intuitive explanation I've heard:

It's very difficult to eat 5 oranges in one go.

It's very easy to drink the same 5 oranges as a fresh squeezed drink.

So it's basically a question of quantity, eating it makes you full very quickly, unlike drinking it.

Possibly, but two oranges usually fill up a glass nicely.
