elbows_and_knees Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 have you all forgotten that the original purpose of gatorade WAS TO MAKE FOOTBALL PLAYERS THIRSTY? If I am trying to survie, the last think I want to do is be in a situation where I am craving MORE water, because it may already be in limited supply, depending on where I am stranded.

elbows_and_knees Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 yup. gatorade was actually an experiment. the coach (at the time) of the florida gators was complaining because his players wouldn't drink enough water... he thought they would dehydrate. So he talked to a group of people about making a drink that they would enjoy, that secretly made them thristy. The result was gatorade. The increased sodium increased their need/desire for water.

brawler1245 Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 gatorade makes u have to use the restroom more often which depleats ur hydration/sodium(i think) level so in any situation definetly water, even though gatorade does replace carbs Don't block with your face.--Soo Bahk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Saint Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Gatorade has sugar in it, watered down juice in my opinion. I'd pick water. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to go to his class." Choi, Hong Hi ITF Founder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aodhan Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 yup. gatorade was actually an experiment. the coach (at the time) of the florida gators was complaining because his players wouldn't drink enough water... he thought they would dehydrate. So he talked to a group of people about making a drink that they would enjoy, that secretly made them thristy. The result was gatorade. The increased sodium increased their need/desire for water.What??Do you have a reference for this? There isn't enough sodium in gatorade to make you thirstier relative to the sodium levels in body fluid.Aodhan There are some people who live in a dream world, and there are some who face reality; and then there are those who turn one into the other.-Douglas Everett, American hockey player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
