Absolutely. The principle applies to gatorade as it does with most all liquids that can be consumed. If you drank enough at one time you would drown yourself. The fluid would back up into your lungs because it can't be processed fast enough. If you are asking if too much means say two 32oz bottles every day then the answer would be no. It would be preferable to drink water and maintain a healthy diet to provide you with all the electrolytes you require to function properly, just choose the zero calorie gatorade if the option is available. Gatorade as it is regular contain sugar/high fructose corn syrup as the sweetener which really provides no value.

∙ 9y ago8 glasses a day (or more) is safe, just don't drink them all at the same time. More than one liter (quart) per hour over several hours, can be dangerous. But if you spread it around over the course of the day (like 1-2 cups per hour), it won't hurt you.

∙ 12y agoYes it can if you drink tons of it and or suffer from high blood pressure. The reason I say this is because it has a ton of sodium in it. However, I think they have come out with a new Gatorade that has less sodium.

∙ 13y agoSince it is a sports drink, it contains both sugar and sodium in reasonable amounts (it has about 1tbl of sugar and 0.05% of your recommended sodium intake per 240ml- the nutritional analysis for "Thirst Quencher"). Although the sodium sounds quite low, if you drink 1200 mls of it in a day, you've had 25% of your salt intake. Clearly, if you are also consuming a lot of salt and sugar elsewhere in your diet, it might be wise to try to cut back on the Gatorade.
Gatorade is designed as a sports drink, for after intense exercise, hence it's sugar and sodium content. But those who do not generally participate in high energy activities have no need of these additional "benefits" in these sports drinks; they are likely to give you a short term "boost" then a sugar crash a few hours later, as opposed to being used to replace lost fluids and electrolytes which aid sporting recovery. The "non sporting person's" electrolytes should be in perfect balance (which means they do not require extra sodium to replace sodium lost in sweat).
If you are doing heavily intense sports for 2 hours, 3 or more times a week, there's probably nothing wrong with drinking a litre of Gatorade after each session. However most normal people will not be doing that much exercise, so for them Gatorade is best enjoyed as a rare treat rather than a daily habit.

How much water should a track runer drink?
Honestly as much as possible. When you exercise, your body soaks up as much water as it can to keep you cool, and the organs running smoothly, which quickly leads to dehydration. What you should do is carry a milk jug full of water and drink at least one of those every day, sipping on it as the day goes on to keep you well hydrated. Also, drink Gatorade or an electrolyte solution to help keep your electrolytes up.

Can you gain weight by drinking Gatorade?
Actually yes, you can die from drinking to much of anything. Especially alcohol. Iv'e heard in the news papers that a very obese woman entered a water drinking contest. She drank so much water she suddenly fell over and died. So no its not a good idea to drink to much of anything. You should have only 3 or 4 bottles of Gatorade a day.

Whats better Gatorade or water?
It depends on the type of sport you're playing, and the weather conditions. On a very hot day where the heat index is at a dangerous level, and where you are sweating well above normal, Gatorade might be a decent choice. Sports involving padding/helmets and hot weather certainly warrant consideration of Gatorade. The idea of Gatorade hydrating you any better than water is a complete myth. Gatorade contains electrolytes, which water doesn't, to help aid your basic muscular functions in extreme conditions. But it isn't absorbed into your system any better or more quickly than water is. This is a very common misconception that has been drilled into our heads by Gatorade's marketing campaign. The amount of sugar in the drink is worrisome, however. I recommend cutting Gatorade in 2 with water. 90% of athletes should just stick to water. And drinking Gatorade while not playing a sport is completely unnecessary!
