No, Gatorade is actually fairly good at keeping you hydrated. Usually it is best to drink a bottle of water or more with an energy drink or anything containing caffeine before any physical activity. Caffeine has the tendency to dehydrate you and suck the water out of your muscles. During strenuous activity this can lead to muscle cramps. With Gatorade the only problem is the amount of sugar inside the drink.

Gatorade is specifically designed to replace electrolytes and calories. If you have sweated a lot, these nutrients will be used immediately to replace the loss. If you have not exercised and sweated for over an hour, the body doesn't need the replacement. A very good bet would be to drink at least one additional glass of water if you have exercised for at least an hour. More if you are thirsty.

Gatorade or no, you still need the required amt of water - 8 glasses/dy. Gatorade only replenishes the lost electrolytes in the body while water is needed for all other processes like plasma formation, cell shape, purification, digestion etc. etc...

approximately...8-12 i think of. Everytime I bypass in the direction of the smash room to the inventory room at artwork, I drink some million/2 a glass, so I stay hydrated at artwork too. while my cup empties, I fill it at recent, and that i finally end up eating greater that way. I additionally drink an entire cup once I brush my tooth.

No. And you don't need the "8 glasses a day" either.
YOU DON'T NEED THAT MUCH WATER!!
It's a myth! BOGUS advice. Just an old wives' tale. Urban legend.

No, but you should only drink it if you have been exercising vigorously for 90+ minutes, otherwise it is just a sugar drink, like Coke.
