You want a toe? I can get you a toe.
That's why I always take my full hour this time of year and drink lots during lunch.

I drink energy drinks and Jolt Cola all day to stay hydrated. And eat at a Chinese buffet for lunch.

I've read plenty of articles that say your body isn't real picky about the fluids being put in it.
Example. While caffeine may dehydrate you slightly more than normal by no means does it negate the 44 ounce soda you drank.
They say high level athletes are about the only exception to this. The argument could be made we fall in this category when heat indexes hit 110+

Sisyphus had it easy.
To stay hydrated, drink until you pee is lite yellow or clear.
The guy who over hydrated was probably not getting any salts with the water, so his % salt was way down. Likely a runner gunner who is skipping lunch and chugging water while they driver.
When I first started I was just drinking water and gatorade while on road. I found I would still get headaches sometimes. I started bringing granola bars and other snacks to eat during the day and now I feel good all day. Breakfast and lunch are crucial when its hot out.
Only when the seasons change to where I have to wake up before sunrise. (Late october to end of feb)
I was told once "pop" is what black people call it, but I think that is
, my grandma is 100% pure Aryan and she calls it poplivin the dream

Half the stuff we hear about hydration is pure propaganda on ups part
Urine is not a sure fire way to tell your hydration. Certian vitamins such as vitamin b will make your urine bring yellow shortly after ingesting. Don't believe me drink water all day and than consume and energy drink. You can be hydrated perfectly and still piss very yellow
Also after traveling to different countries which have way hotter weather than us, I have noticed they drink way less water than what I have been told is acceptable. To top that off they consume massive quantities of alcohol after work. They don't pass out and die like according to ups they should. It has a lot to do with overall health and eating habits IMHO than just how much water you drink daily. Be smart, drink a bottle of water before work, drink water through out the day and throw a gatoraid or two in there. Cafine will not make u die, energy drinks will not make u die, and sugar won't either.

I have to correct you on this one. Too much caffeine can cause your heart to race inducing a heart attack, and yes, kill you.

Sweat comes from any fluids you take in. Not just water. But yes you need adequate fluids.

It seems some people have a fetish for Gatorade.
I posted in another forum about High Fructose Corn Syrup and suggested that it is a cheap sweetener that is hard for the body to digest.
Read the ingredients of Gatorade......
if it ends in "ose", it is sugar or a derivative of sugar.
It seems the Marketing Department at Gatorade has you right where they want you.
I posted this in another forum but what could I possibly know.......

You are dead right. In these other countries I was speaking of all of their soda, juices ect all use real Cain sugar. High fructose corn syrup in my opinion is responsible for tons of health issues in this country

nowhere special
Yeah. Gatorade is mostly sugar water with excellent marketing. Its OK but nothing special. There are better and cheaper alternatives.
I never drank that stuff. Read the label and realize how many grams of sugar are in each bottle, you pound that stuff all day every day and you'll wind up a diabetic.

Cane, not Cain. It is just as bad as high fructose corn syrup. Your body can't really tell much difference between the sugars other than some are absorbed faster.

I do drink a couple of energy drinks, sodas, and chocolate milk but mixed into a steady flow of flavored water and Gatorade. Hell they all have water in them. LOL.
