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.

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.

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

Gatorade has sugar in it, watered down juice in my opinion. I'd pick 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.
