Plus ANYTHING with caffeine or alcohol in it is a diuretic (translate to: it
makes you pee) which is the last thing you want in combination with heat.
So, most sodas (especially Mountain Dew, 2x the caffeine as Coke), coffee,
tea and chocolate (yeah right, convince people to give up chocolate, Ha!)
should be right out if you're looking at dehydration. Vinegar is made from
apples and so helps to replace the electrolytes as well. Full strength
Gatorade can cause as many problems as it helps by causing potassium
overload and vomiting. Not my favorite thing to do at events.


Probably more than you wanted to know.
