Worst Summer Cocktail - Pina Colada

I cry foul as I was just reading that a real Pina Colada isn't a creamy frozen drink, but much closer to a margarita, except with rum in the place of tequila.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Admittedly I prefer to cut my VitaminWater with more water by a half, but when their serving size is 12oz and sugar is 19g, how is that comparable to a 8oz of coke with 27g of total carbs?

a bottle of this stuff carries nearly as much sugar and calories as a can of Coke

Puh-lease. Different size bottles, all bigger than the average can of Coke.

Sparky, when I was training for the AIDSRide, I swore by Balance Energy Drink . It didn't make my blood sugar go all wonky, and tasted pretty good.

Gatorade gives me a stomach ache in a big way.

Coconut water is not at all gross. And actually less flavorful than you'd imagine...but it does have good nutrients in it.

I cannot bear coconut water. My stomach gets heave-y just reading about it.

What can I say? I'm not into health food.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I think it's worthwhile to point out that a standard serving of vitamin water is as caloric as a standard serving of Coke.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I'd rather have a Coke. But I'm working on cutting down to one a day. I swear.

I lost another pound. Just one a week, is all I'm asking.

When I need a sports drink, I buy it in powder form and dilute it by 25% or so when I make it.

I always get Gatorade, because I compared its percentages of sodium and potassium to those of Powerade, and Powerade is really just barely half a step away from being Kool-Aid. Gatorade seems to have a decent amount of the electrolytes. (And my own anecdotal experience is that Gatorade always makes me feel better if I'm dehydrated and ready to expire, while Powerade generally does not.)
