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

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.

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.
