If your intent is to "hydrate", nothing will do so as well as water. Nothing.

Yep sortof. "hydration" is meant to keep water in the system which shibumiseeker is getting at by discussing the electrolytes. When I have a dehydrated patient, I don't give them water in the IV, I give them saline (0.9% sodium chloride). You need an equal balance of the electrolytes or your kidneys will try to make up the difference, or your brain will make you eat salty things.

Eat a balanced diet, plenty of water, and be reasonable.

Key is to hydrate before you perform activity to become dehydrated.

I try to drink as much water as possible (thank you Que.) It sounds as if I am throwing it down too fast, as I have to pee all the time. How do you folks pace yourself?

That's why I enjoy a 1000 mls. of normal saline over ice with a twist of lime. Shaken, not stirred.

And a day and a half later you are all getting no caffeine headaches that hurt like hammered hell.

Day 26 for me... quit cold turkey. I could drink about 4-7 cans of soda a day. First week was a bad week. After making it through that I have been falling asleep way easier and sleeping better as well.

Here in the next few days I'll allow myself a drink every couple days but no more then one every 2-3 days.

Just to be safe, I suggest sticking with beer.

2 or 3 cups of black coffee in the AM. That is it for intentional Caffeine intake for me. Water/Gatorade/Orange Juice the rest of the day. Whole milk with meals.

Dill Pickle juice or Sweet Pickle juice?

Only tea I drink is Arnold Palmer Zero... has absolutely nothing in it, which essentially makes it equivalent to water, yeah?

Until I use it as a mixer and turn it into a John Daly.

First golf humor I've come across since joining. Excellent

EDIT: I didnt realize that a John Daly drink was a thing until googling.

I like to add a quarter wedge of lemon to each bottle of water (24oz.) Is that good/bad to do with all of the 3-4 bottles I drink a day?

Dill Pickle juice or Sweet Pickle juice?

dill. start with a little, and cut it with water if you have to.

What hydrates my body better, iced tea or water?

Interesting.

Simple question, iced tea or water?

There is a correct answer, and only one correct answer. Water.

So it doesn't go unnoticed, iced tea actually contains water.

If you like it, it's good. It certainly isn't bad.

I would avoid diets that are also pyramid schemes.

My grandpappy's cousin Earl Joe taught me how to stay hydrated when I was a youngin.
