I pack a Gatorade or two when doing 3 or 4 game sets or more i.e. a 2 on 1 off day that might call for 8 to 10 games in a day.

As a rule, I will "sip" on those all day long as opposed to guzzling a large amount at any one time, or else I end up feeling bloated and/or a little nauseous.

When drinking smaller amounts throughout the day, though, they are quite refreshing and hit the spot perfectly.

I don't always drink sports drinks but when I do, I will try to dilute them by 50% to reduce the amount of sugar.

Pedialyte is also great for rehydrating and has less sugar but you may want to put it in a different container.

Nope - don't drink alcohol mostly because of my diabetes. Haven't had so much as a beer in over 20 years. Also don't drink coffee or tea because of a different medical condition. I do drink a lot of diet pop.

OK- that's my medical report for the day. I don't even want to discuss my brain deficiencies. There's probably not enough space on Brad's server.

It's what people who were brought up outside the Chicago area call soda.

My folks moved to Western NY while I was in college. [I did find their address, though.] People there called it "pop", though it sounded more like "pahp" when they said it. Never heard anyone in Northern New England call soda anything other than "soda" or "coke".
