That's a matter of opinion. I prefer halved Gatorade on almost every
flavor, and think the full strength stuff is severely nasty. My husband likes it
full strength. Phlip's been a chirurgeon for a long time, and the chirurgeons
on the field drink the same Gatorade they mix for the fighters, so she
certainly has drunk halved gatorade.

At the rate some fighters guzzle liquid on the field, if they drink only
Gatorade they can easily overload on the electrolytes, especially the sodium.
And the sugar. We drink a LOT more of it than the average person playing a
couple of tennis matches or something. And there's no way the chirurgeons and
waterbearers can ensure that people are drinking mostly water and only some
Gatorade.
