Gatorade. Is it really better for you than water?

I dillute a powdered electrolyte-heavy substance in to fresh water. It looks like piss, it tastes like water, and it fuckin boosts your energy like nobody's business. I can't stand those energy drinks like red bull, gatorade, and powerade because they have so much sugar and other additives that they actually hurt you more than they help you. If you want to check out what I drink, go to a vitamin store and ask for something electrolyte heavy. Look at the ingredients to make sure you know what you are getting yourself in to (bring a gatorade nutritional value label if you need a comparison).

Please ignore this portion as it is completely wrong [as far as for your teeth, I have just started working for a dentist, and just about any commercial drink is generally bad for your teeth. Just brush and floss regularly, and you can drink all the coke, gatorade, and powerade you want.] I feel the need to leave it up to stand by the fact I made a big error.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

It's better to just drink coke and these things in moderation.

I do actually have to agree with SemperFidelis on this one. I am a horrible person for sounding drastically misleading. I do stand by the fact everybody should brush their teeth twice a day on a regular basis, and floss before going to bed each night. Soda pops with lots of sugar (Coke, Mountain Dew, Pepsi, etc.) are really bad for your teeth, and can horribly corrode them. Drink responsibly.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
