TweetSodas and gatoraide are pretty much 99% water with sugar and other additives including artificial colors and maybe preservatives. Tea is 100% water tinted with leaves. Nothing wrong with drinking just water for sure. But tea is really good for you. Forget the sodas and sports drinks though.
Guns, so far I have had drank a 33 oz carton right after a brutal WO and not had probs. I think it may be because it is high in magnesium? Mag can be used as a laxative. I do love it ice cold, I have played around by squeezing a lime in it or lemon and a few drops of stevia. both are good but plain is still mt fav.
