Study Finds Water Isn't the Best Drink for Hydration
-
Just gonna pop in here to yell at the clouds. I hate the name "Liquid I.V." for a powdered sports drink. It's none of the things. It's a dry-ass powder that doesn't go in your veins. Fuck. And it's presumably meant to evoke the emergency dehydration scenario of world-class athletes dying on the sideline, hooked up to saline drips to keep their muscles from cramping inside-out. Everything about the branding is crap.
The product itself is fine though.

I remember once reading that having one beer and then changing to water would be a good rehydration strategy.
And I definitely believe it. Feels like that anyway. But.
Oh man I'd like a cold beer.

Most people get enough salt for the day through food though.
If you can have food that is an electrolyte source with your water, that's fine.
If you consumed the food prior to the dehydrating events, it won't assist in restoring electrolytic balance.

Yes, all the ways in which human lose water they also lose electrolytes
All except one: you also lose water through exhalation, particularly in dry air. It's basically never going to be the main way you lose water, though
Living in the sauna that is Arkansas, I don't usually think about dry air, but I think you are correct. If you've dehydrated yourself through breathing, plain water is fine for hydration.

BRAWNDO!!! IT'S GOT WHAT PLANTS CRAVE! ELECTROLYTES!
When it comes to alcohol, stronger forms, like whiskey, for example, actually dehydrate, while beer shows better results.
I'm replacing water with beer the next time I run a marathon.
/this was a joke. i don't run

Isn't milk more "liquid food" than a drink? It's meant to provide full nutrition to young, not provide fluids to an adult. Humans drinking milk in adulthood is the weird part.
I've had to restrain myself from drinking a couple of liters of milk on hot days because I'm pretty sure it was helping me get fat. There's a pile of sugar in milk, but damn, it seemed to be the best for quenching thirst. I really like milk and miss it.

Milk? Fucking mlk??? The drink of psychopaths and weird kids at school? I'd rather shrivel up and die looking like a pice of beef jerky than hydrate with mlk
