Cherry Lime Gatorlyte (the white one)
So refreshing. A couple sips on a hot day and I feel rehydrated.

I like to drink Body Armor when I'm cycling or riding my motorcycle on a hot day.
Liquid IV. I'll bring a few packets if I know I'm going to be sweating. It's also great for a hangover.
Ginger tea is my bag baby yeah.
Ice cold water with a slice of lemon.
Propel/Gatorade Zero powder drink mixes. No specific flavor.
Pack of 10 costs as much as 1 regular Gatorade bottle. More cost effective.
An americano. when particularly thirsty, an americano with water on the side.
Water. Cold brew black or green tea if I'm feeling frisky.
BRAWNDO
of course.
It's got what plants crave
Ice cold water, or Gatorade if I need the electrolytes (usually due to hangover, rather than exercise). Orange or yellow-green, red and white are tolerable, fuck blue
For long term hydration:
โข Alcohol free beer (non-American, preferably German-style, cold)
โข water (little lower than room temp)
โข unsweetened tea (cold)
For quick hydration:
โข sparkling water (littler lower than room temp)
โข sparkling water with lemon (not fridge cold but cold)
Oh, and no ice cubes.
Look into drink mixes for endurance athletes. We use this stuff constantly.
I personally love Skratch. They make a more traditional 70cal/scoop mix and also make an electrolyte-only mix that's easier on the digestive track if you don't need the sugar for exercise.
A bit expensive. Does look too bad though. Wish it was cheaper alternative to body armours. Its super basic and could be made much cheaper they just from sourcing the ingredients yourself.
Water.
Cold water
generally ice water, but i also like Pocari sweat if its on hand.
Hammer fizz is the best but it is low sugar.
lol thanks for all the suggestions of water, but when I'm on SSRIs it runs right through me.
Idk im on SSRIs as well but I still prefer water. Is it maybe some side effect of the ones you're taking? Maybe you should talk to your doc about it.
Water with electrolytes? I got unflavored electrolyte drops for times I fast, and for my kid who has to do band camp in the summer here. You can get flavored ones too, I don't like them. Dilute them more than the bottle says to, sometimes a splash of lemon.
Topo Chico and orange juice is great, if you are just looking for something that tastes good.
Ask your doctor if it's safe for you to take creatine, that certainly helps muscles retain water.
Unsweet tea. Wife has made green tea for the last few batches, liking that even more.
If I'm outdoors, kayaking or hiking or whatever, I carry frozen water.
Watch out for caffeine in teas people. After 2 weeks of loving green tea 3 or 4 times a day. I got massive migraines when I stopped or even slowed down on consumption. 25mg to 50mg per cup.
If you're exploring the green tea world, I highly recommend mint green tea. Exactly what it sounds like. I find it quite refreshing, especially after a hot day. The mint adds a nice coolness.
