have had together

I always find confusing to use only "had" or "have had" because to me both give same message to the listener or pass on the same message.

e.g. I had a glass of orange juice OR I have had a glass of orange juice.

The objective of above sentence is to convey that the person has drunk orange juice. so how "had" or "have had" are different?
