Gatoraid...

[woodchux]

How much of this stuff do yall drink? I drink almost two gallons every day...

 

[forestryworks]

gatorade is bad for your teeth.

i only drink it when i'm gettin' dry.

mostly it's gallons of water a week.

 

[treeman82]

Depending on what I am doing I'll take out 2 32 oz bottles of gatorade a day, give or take.

I'm more a Monster type of guy with lots of water, however when it gets really hot I will mix a 5 Gallon cooler with 2 large sachets of Gator Aid and that will last three of us 2-3 days.

 

[motoroilmccall]

Depends on the season, and the day... On a hot, hard working, long day, I might go through 3-4 gallons by myself... In the winter, I'll have one at lunch to keep some salt in me.

 

[woodchux]

My wifes been on my case about drinking it too much... she swears its bad for your kidneys and blood pressure.

:jawdrop: I thought I sweated a lot but that's some fluid intake their dude. Mind you I can do a couple of gallons (imperial gallons) of beer in an evening at the boozer, then another half gallon to wash down the curry!

It has been shown to cause kidney stones if you drink too much gatorade and not enough water. I do drink a fair amount of Gatorade but mostly water throughout the day.

My pantry looks like the drink isle at walmart...

You're like me. I'll stand on my soapbox and tell people to drink more water, and I've got a fridge in the garage for Monster & Gator Aid specifically. I'm thinking everyone in my family get's well into their eighties so who cares man! drink what makes you happiest and makes you work the fastest. I know it's bad for you but I reckon in our game you sweat most of that stuff out anyway. Whatever happens I'm going to drink beer when I get home anyway so let the good times roll man!

Well when it gets to 95* here, and you start working at 7AM, and don't stop til 8 or 9 PM, you start drinking a lot of fluids. We try for a half gallon an hour, otherwise you get dehydrated in a hurry.

LOL!!!!

I used to try and spoil my hired help by stocking a Cooler with Sports drinks.

The High school kids go for them, but the long time field hands would just go back to the water jug, and I didn't have to nag them to drink enough.

I asked one of the guys I always hire on why.

He flat out told me that Water is what you sweat, not red and blue stuff!!!

Me, I stick with some highly organic mineral infused Water I get locally.
I even use it for Coffee by the gallon.

Stay safe!

So how does one produce ORGANIC mineral infused water???? Do you grow it without fertilizers and pesticides?

 

[BarkBuster20]

when i go out for a day of cuttin firewood, i will bring one 20. oz bottle of water and one 20. oz bottle of squincher that i premix. i believe it works better than gotorade. and an orange. first the water then squincher to get some energy back.

Actually it involves simply flipping the handle on the Faucet connected to my well. :hmm3grin2orange:

SHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm thinking of bottling the stuff and selling it to the Yuppies.
They can't seem to be able to walk 50yds without a bottle of some sort of boutique water in thier hands, so it might as well be "Organic mineral infused water the way Nature intended" from one of my wells.

No fertilizers or pesticides yet, the aquifer is too deep, but may have to add some to get the flavor most are used too. LOL!!


Stay safe!

I rarely even eat lunch when working, sometimes even in the summer I'll go all day without even water. I usually buy the buy one get one free deals (wheather it be poweraid or gatorade), 20 oz size I think, if its hot and I'm climbing all day I'll have one. Usually give the other to the ground dogs when they run out.

Plenty of fluids at night though.

I find the fruit punch tasty. I have freaked myself out after taking a leak at the end of the day and seeing a red tinge to it - then i remember the two friut punches. lol.
