I like coconut water. natural carbs and electrolytes and I love the taste as well. Better than that overly sweet gator-aide or other sports drink.

Gonna try that coconut water. Even the low sugar Gatorade is just getting played out. Thanks for the tip

I used to drink it but I will always remember what my dr told me. He said "your blood is made out of water. Not Gatorade, tea, Diet Coke, diet anything. Just water. Drink just water " so that's what I've done for years now

Sodas 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.

absolutely. Tea and other sports drinks are ok in moderation, but your body has to go through the different stages to metabolize the sugar...artificial colors and god knows what else in Gatorade...etc. even tho they are made up of water...they still are not the same as 100% pure water
