In comparing nutrition facts labels of Gatorade (G) and Coke Classic, G has about half the calories and sugar of Coke. Of course this will vary between products, but in this comparison, Gatorade is better from a nutrition perspective. G does, however, have more sodium than Coke, but this is to trigger thirst so you stay better hydrated.

No. Water is usually the best thing to drink. One should only drink Gatorade after at least an hour of physical activity, but water is still the best thing for you.
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!

By better, I assume that you mean 'nutritionally better' rather than better tasting. Gatorade is better for you as it is not as acidic and is based upon the chemistry of sweat - one of your natural body fluids. Thus it would be better for both re-hydration and your overall health, however; there is still a lot of sugar in Gatorade so remember than it is not ideal. The best thing for you to drink would be water.
What percentage of the sports drink market does Gatorade control?

Is Gatorade juice?
Not really. According to an internet search, Gatorade contains 63 kcal per serving (water contains 0). Per serving it also contains 13 grams of sugar (water 0 grams). In some instances, it may be better than drinking water because Gatorade contains electrolytes that aid in better fluid absorption. Not only is it good during sport activities where you sweat a lot, it can work really well when you a sick. You usually feel a lot better when you body is well-hydrated.
