..and I noticed almost every answer on the Health Section from an American will advise people to drink Gatorade.
what's up with that? Do people think that it's some kind of miracle drink? are they aware you can replace electrolytes through other means? why do people think they have a dire need for sports drinks when they are the opposite of athletes?

I work in health care when it first came out Doctors (I believe thought so) however more recently they are telling you not to give it to your children all the time yeah it has some electrolytes in it but it also has more sugar than having a soft drink.

Don't you know? If they say it's better than water, it must be! If they have Michael Jordan up there, then obviously, if you drink it, you will have enough energy to drop weight and look like him in a week! (I'm being sarcastic)
And of course, it's color which makes it all the more appealing. That's why I get it. The stuff sucks, but I like the pretty colors.

Electralights and sugar. The first keeps you hydrated and the second is humans best friend. The truth is it's better than soda. The funny thing is sugar dehydrates us. Tv makes us buy more things than what we believe, advertising makes me need therapy.

It is an easy, understandable answer. I've given it as advice to addicts in withdrawal to offset the effects of puking and sweating out the crap. Tell me, what are some of the other ways to replace electrolytes? I'm open to suggestions.

Billy never knew you were supposed to drink it, I've been snorting the stuff since 1975
