Possibly, my own personal experience excepted. Much as I hate to admit it, I
have yet to run across anything that will rehydrate me as well as the
steenkeeng Gatorade. I also get intense muscle cramps when dehydrated, and
the only thing that comes close to Gatorade for putting those away is tonic
water. Not pickles, not bananas, not beer, and not any of the other more
palatable suggestions I've heard of. Yes, Gatorade does taste like two
gallons worth of bad-quality powdered lemonade mix dissolved in one gallon of
seawater, but for me it does have a niche. But then, when I do drink it, I'll
usually have either about three ounces of the stuff, or the equivalent
diluted heavily.
