My issue is the market mostly has caffienated or carbonated drinks and if it's not then its loaded with sugar.

I can't tell if that's rhetorical or not, haha. It's just that (to me) it's a bunch of sugars and carbs that just sit...And collect. EVIL EXCESS CALORIES. I have enough problems eating right. Then again, this is coming from the guy that just drinks tasteless white water. But I got some nice orange juice with decent pulp, mmmmm.

My mother has a big addiction to Diet Coke though. She drinks and drinks and drinks. She'd probably be better off having some Gatorade...lol.

That's why they make propell =P That and probably because it has less sugars, iono.. it's still pretty "good" though.

i just get thirsty and gatorade (despite all the ****ing sodium) helps with that and it tastes good! I hate water unless i'm working out because its tasteless :-P

I was just curious if there was anything "harmful" to drinking 2-3 a day when you're not even working out.. lol...

I don't see why there would be...Haha. I don't think it's like a normal sports drink, where they're cramming caffeine and all that extra stuff in there. It's just pretty sugary...I think they use corn syrup.

Absolutely. Although Gatorade is formulated for when you are hot, sweaty and thirsty, it can be consumed just like any other beverage. Keep in mind that Gatorade contains only about 50% of the calories of fruit juices and regular soft drinks.

I think there's about 150 calories to a 24 oz. bottle, right?

I wouldn't say harmful, but it'd prolly have the same effect as drinking a soda at this point, since you're not "active." Since the point of the drink is to replenish your quickly depleted Sodium content, from sweating it out, you'd just have more sodium in your body. Basically you'd need to drink some more water to balance that out, lol.. iono. Like I said before, Propel, is like a nice balance, or "option" if you're into the powerade... it's like "water down" gatorade if you will, but it still tastes better than Water =P It's not as sugary as Gatorade as well, blah blah blah.

I drink apple juice

I should replace it with alcohol though. Err ... I mean water ....

Also Brisk green apple whatever the shit tastes like jolly ranchers. Lolz wat.

**Korova** · 04-05-2007, 04:14 PM

my 20 oz bottle of Mango Electrico says 130 calories. and 35g of sugars

***Incognitus*** · 04-05-2007, 05:20 PM

For the past year I have only had an occasional soda, but a lot of Gatorade. That intake is accompanied by exercise in the summer months. I wonder, what are the figures of Gatorade VS soda (like Pepsi) in terms of sugar content? I am too lazy to check right now. I may never check.

**SOLDIER #819** · 04-05-2007, 06:02 PM

Going by the food label...The serving size (8 oz.) for most Gatorade contains 16% daily sugar for someone who is on a 2000 calorie diet (where you exercise frequently). So if you mess around a bit, a 21 oz. bottle of Gatorade has at least 40% your daily sugar (I got 42% for Fruit Punch). Doing the same thing with classic Coke, a 21 oz. bottle will have over 75% (I got 78.75%). Cherry Coke has slightly more. The Fruit Punch Gatorade listing has 14g of sugar per 8 oz. serving and the Coca-Cola 27g.

They both pack quite a punch...Two bottles of Gatorade and a decent meal and you're probably done for the day sugar-wise.

**Korova** · 04-05-2007, 06:20 PM

yeah thats what i was afraid of... i go to the gym regularly (when my wrist isn't broken) and mountain bike in warmer months and snowboard in frozen months.. but during the day i sit behind a computer.. lol... like i said the issue is gatorade tastes better than water.. and lemonades/fruitpunch have as much sugar as coke....

but if i wasn't drinking it i'd be drinking soda pop, so at least its better for me... instead of chewing tobacco i'm smoking it.

**SOLDIER #819** · 04-05-2007, 06:26 PM

Hehe, yeah. I can't handle it myself...My metabolism has never been good to begin with, and I'd probably pump up my blood sugar if I drink it. It took a while, but I got used to just drinking plain water out of habit (before that it was Snapple Diet Teas, which I think mess with my stomach). I just can't stand flavored waters like Propel, since they tend to make me feel sick after a while (sorta like when you drink too much soda). I'd rather just take the calories and have orange juice if I had to decide between the two.

Aaaaagh health.

**Spekkio** · 04-08-2007, 12:10 AM

I need at least one soda per day. I probably have two a day on average, counting the dining hall fountain soda I drink. I probably drink three or four on extreme days.

I really love the rush....and the taste.....and the RUSH!!!

**Spekkio** · 04-08-2007, 11:44 AM

UoC's foot is lodged into my ass, Tiff. But you know, I think it's only made me more of a procrastinator.

I used to drink every weekend......but now I'm probably done...sans "special occasions". I've developed some other habits that have made alcohol pretty unnecessary.... =P

Edit: Pop is bad......but.........what isn't?

But It's good to make friends at work since it passes time, lol All I do with one of my co-workers is make fun of other people haha.. we're mean. lol it's funny when we make our manager do our work xD lol

**Tifa** · 04-08-2007, 11:14 PM

No, I passed out on my bed while he was on my chair, you perv -_-

Working isn't so bad. I don't really get friends at work, but my managers and coworkers seem to like me so I'm happy.

**Korova** · 04-10-2007, 08:49 PM

I love beer... i'm drunk right now and working late... i'm trying to not let others know i'm drunk at work.. so sshhhhh don't tell anyone..

i went to a tapping party at a local brewery who is testing a new formula... mmmmm.... it was great.... yum yum..

**Keisuke Takahashi** · 04-10-2007, 09:22 PM

Taro bubble tea (from TenRen's) + vodka. Pretty good! I don't remember how much I put in though ... >>;

**SOLDIER #819** · 04-18-2007, 01:55 PM

If you start selling it, I get a 10% cut due to licensing. I'm marketing this crap! =P

**Keisuke Takahashi** · 04-18-2007, 02:44 PM

dude, I think every asian person that drinks bubble tea has thought, hey why not put alcohol in it and sell it. I'd make millions.. or something to that extent... =P
