Gatorade is horrible. I drink Mama Chia drinks before and after workouts!

I still love a cold red Gato after a day of fire fighting. Can't beat it.

I switched to a brand called "Fluid", but races almost always only have Gatorade on the course. Very light tasting and easy to drink a lot of: http://livefluid.com/

Gratefully I've yet to run a race that featured Gatorade. Typically they have Nuun, Ultima, or Hammer Fizz. But let's be honest, Gatorade is perfectly fine when consumed during or following a period of intense physical activity. Yeah, the ingredients could be harmful to you when consumed in large quantities while you sit on your ass. But chucking it back when you're hot and exhausted and your body needs sugar, salt, and water? Go for it. My nose won't be up in the air about it.

I love it with vodka.

Hookuh - I agree completely. I'm got gonna turn it down when somebody hands it to me in the middle of exercise! But if I'm spending my own money on mass quantities I'll choose something else.
