This is a companion question to my "What soaring foods do you eat?".

I figured that water was *THE* drink of choice. But in the other
thread I have seen gatorade, something called GU
(http://www.gusports.com/) and other interesting liquid refreshments
(but no capacino).

So ... what do you drink up there?

Thanks, John

Gatorade used to fund research on electrolyte replacement
here at Ball State University. The research indicated
that the replacement with their product was no quicker
than that of 7-Up

Iced tea Camelbak with lots of ice in it replaces
tannin quickly. I just go with water.

In my Younger days I drank Root Beer in an insulated jug. The
carbonation was a problem sometimes.

Now it's just water.......

Just water for me, on long flights two camelbacks filled with ice then
water. Also a cold bottle on the flight line. Too much sugar in
gatorade for my taste.

Get my electrolytes in tablet form with my early lunch.

Then have power bars for munching in flight. But it is so hard to find
ones that won't melt!

Just water. In summer I freeze an entire 2 litre camelbak type system
in the deepfreeze the night before - it sort of gets about 1/2 to 3/4
frozen. As the flight goes on the ice melts, both regulating the amount
I can drink and keeping the water cool and refreshing.

Gatorade with the wide mouth plastic bottle. Drink the
fluid, use the bottle later to accommodate personal hygiene
needs. The cap seals tightly.

Acuarius. Kind of gatorade but less sweet, and tastes good even when it
warms. Sells in Spain at least, vey comfortable 1/2 liter format, wide mouth
too. Useful for the outflow portion of the hydratation process...
Usually I have two bottles on board, plus plenty of water on the flightline
and rigging, that lasts about two or three hours if I go careful about it.

Water. I fill a 3 liter Camel Back and stow it in the glider when I
start to rig so I've got water easily available as soon as I get
started. For food I eat Cliff bars and PB&J sandwiches.
Nice thing about water too, I can squirt my face, hat, or shirt to cool
off. I suppose you could do that with Gatorade too though. ;-)

Water, but the plastic of the bag tends to foul the taste, so I find
myself drinking less than I ought to. I typically add some cranberry
juice to make it more palatable.

A topic I having seen so far is that I have a problem with Iced drinks.
If the drink is too cold, my eustation tubes get plugged up. I drink
cool water.

1/2 strength Gatorade. I cannot drink enough water without it upsetting my
stomach, and full strength is just too much sugar. Gallon before launch,
and 3 liter in glider.

Capri Sun Sport drinks in the large size foil pouches...they fit in my baggy
shirt pockets and any out of the way nook or cranny. Plenty of water on the
flightline

Trader Joe's sells "Smart water" and I think other stores as well. I like
the kind without any flavoring ( water flavor). This stuff has the same
electrolyte as Gatorade without the sugar and flavoring. PeterK

Me too, until I hit some severe turbulence and a full bottle really
whacked the inside of the canopy. Couldn't believe it didn't shatter.

If you are using a Camelback, you can remove the foul plastic taste
permanately by filling the resevoir bag with a solution of water and
one cup of sugar. Make sure the plastic tub to the bite piece is also
filled with the solution. Then let sit for 12 hours. Drain the bag
and rinse throughout with water. It should be good to go.

We have a physician in our club who advocates Gatorade diluted with an
equal amount of water. This way you get the electrolytes without
consuming too much sodium.

Well that's a problem if you don't secure the bottles (as well as any other
object inside the canopy). I stuff it in a free place between the seatpan
and my right arm. Never moves.

Water and only water. From a camelback. This way I can stow the
camelback out of the way (behind the headrest) and I don't have to do
anything with my hands other than put the nozzle in my mouth. I find
that anything with sugar or similar in the water increases the pee rate
without increasing my hydration.

"pre-hydrate" with Gatorade/Powerade on the ground. I use 1/2 as much
powder as they recommend.
In-flight I have a 100 ounce camelback and 3/4 liter diluted
Gatorade/Powerade. I drink the water. The other is just there in as a back
up or if I land out.

whole foods carries smart water for .99 cetns and they also carry them
in sport tops.

Sports drinks have too much sugar in them for our sedentary
sport, but the electrolytes are helpful. Make them
up at half strength and drink plenty on the ground
while getting the ship ready especially in hot weather.
It is dangerous to be under-hydrated at the time of
take-off. What you drink while you are flying doesn't
matter, so long as you drink.

Cute. He means WATER (H2O). I have no idea what hydronic acid is.
The only google references are "dangers of hydronic acid" and "Mulberry
extract".

It's yet another name for water. The DHMO.org site may have a little
something on it.
