When we landed here you said you needed a few days to get space worthy again and is there somethin' wrong with your bunk?

David, I think we need pictures of your workplace.

Compassionately intolerant

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.

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

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

Worst Summer Cocktail - Pina Colada

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.)

I had some electrolyte mix from GNC while in Ethiopia, but I was drinking it because of an ick, not because of exercise, so YNeedMV.

I always forget that sodas have calories since I have been drinking diet versions for over 20 years. Diet Coke Plus currently. CFDC at home.

My lunch of leftovers and some raw veggies did not fill me. BAH! I will give myself an hour to see if I feel differntly then, maybe drinking enough water or an orange will help.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I'd rather have plain old water than either, not for health reasons or anything, just because I'm not a fan of soft drinks.

So that contest ita linked to? I think that's the one my friend's son won last year. cool stuff.
