Since 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.
Gatorade gives you direct energy when you drink it but it will not last as long. Rice gives slow energy over the whole day.
Yes.One thing you can drink is Powerade. You can also drink Gatorade.
Perrier usually comes in small bottles. Yes, it is safe to drink 6 bottles of this kind of water per day.
About a few weeks (2-3) depending on how much, drink alot of gatorade and water the week before you are tested maybe even the day before I reccomend 6-7 glasses a day. Or if you want it out asap maybe 20 but drink slow
I'm doing a lab right now and trying to find the same thing!
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.
my doctor told me to go on a clear liquid diet then the next day got on a toast or cracker diet then just eat soup until you fill normal. and drink as much as you can. Gatorade and water. my doctor told me to go on a clear liquid diet then the next day got on a toast or cracker diet then just eat soup until you fill normal. and drink as much as you can.

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.
I pretty sure that too much Gatorade period makes you sick. I love Gatorade and have been drinking three a day at soccer training. After four days I have bad headache and feel tired. I have read that Gatorade is good only when sick, in hot conditions, and after exercise.
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!

Yes, day-old coffee is generally safe to drink as long as it has been stored properly and reheated to a safe temperature before consuming. However, the taste and quality may not be as good as freshly brewed coffee.
