    Moreso helps when you are weak from dehydration.( both cases) electrolytes+sugar means faster hydration and more energy than water.

    And when it’s consumed otherwise or just for fun, is almost entirely unnecessary. It’s primarily salt water to replenish lost electrolytes, but with sugar added so you’re not just drinking salt water (and the extra energy source helps during physical activity). But if you’re not in sport or hungover, the extra calories are a waste and the salt will just get eliminated in the urine.

    It’s mostly consumed by couch potatoes.

    90% of the time I see someone with a gatorade it’s:

    1. The largest person I’ve ever seen in my life with a 24 pack at the grocery store

    2. Someone sitting on a couch

    I’d say sports and work more than hangovers but……

    You could just be a thirsty dude. Gatorade forgets about this demographic.

    I want a drink for no reason other then liquid has not touched my lips for some time.

    If you’re not reupping the electrolytes after a physical event then you’re gonna feel at your worst too

    Guess we just crave those electrolytes whether we’re running a marathon or running from our regrets!

    * You know, people think I’m into sports just because I’m a man. I’m not into sports. I mean, I like Gatorade, but that’s about as far as it goes. By the way, you don’t have to be sweaty and holding a basketball to enjoy a Gatorade. You could just be a thirsty dude. Gatorade forgets about this demographic. I’m thirsty for absolutely no reason. Other than the fact that liquid has not touched my lips for some time. Can I have a Gatorade too, or does that lightning bolt mean “no?”

    Gatorade: the only drink that can turn you from MVP to MIA in a matter of hours! Who knew hydration could be so versatile?
