Which hydrates you better- Gatorade or Powerade?
I know water is the best but just out of Gatorade and Powerade.

They are about the same. Although Gatorade contains twice as much sodium., it is overkill since no one needs that much.

For me, Gatorade because Powerade is too sweet and rich tasting. It is darker and also gives me diarehha. I thought i was the only one!

Generally there is too much sugar in these which can slow down water absorption. Try diluting them to about half strength unless you have been losing a lot of electrolytes (sodium, potassium, chloride, bicarbonate).

mineral water works fine. It is much cheaper than the brands that you mention.
