When I used to run track, our coach would make us drink water because he says it was just sugar. I also noticed that a lot of the Gatorade jugs on the sidelines just have water in them. Is this all just a marketing scam?

Nope. They do. One NHL guy, I forget who, was always laughed at my his teammates because he could never keep straight the Gatorade bottle from the water. Gatorade was an orange top, white was water, he was forever spraying his face down in Gatorade when he meant to cool down with water. Very frequent site to see an NHL drink Gatorade anyway.

Yeah that's what they dump the coach with in NFL when they win the Super Bowl so they must be drinking it.

In one of Dr Karls books he talks about Gatorade and basically says that it's sugar, water and salt. And it's more for marathons or thriathlons, where you can get dehydrated and sweat too much and the Gatorade is supposed to counter balance that.

Doesn't sugar also help give athletes a rush?

Zdeno Chara was seen drinking a Coke on the bench during a game And caught shit for it since Pepsi had some sponsorship deal. His, "I like a sip of Coke during a game didn't fly. He was told to not let it happen again. |

I think it might be a market thing to have Gatorade cups but it would not shock me if some of them really drink water.

A lot of guys actually opt for Pedialyte now; does more to replace electrolytes, as I understand it.

I gave some to my daughter last weekend and she didn't want it. So, since it smelled okay, I took a sip to convince her. Needless to say, I went back out and bought her gatorade and diluted the shit out of it. |

Sports guys will drink whatever than can to get an edge, most does care about taste. Read a big thing now is pickle juice. Drink it during games. Has to taste better than yellow Gatorade.

They dilute it heavily when they do, since it's pretty much salty Kool Aid in it's regular form.
