personally id rather drink water than anything else i mean gatorade aint the best tasting drink out their either. plus 12 rounds of anything else will make any man have to drain the lizzzzard more often. gatorade in too much amounts at once gives you diaherria. i remember in my track days some kid kept drinking gatorade all day without anything in his stomach and when it came down to his race he had this brownish thick liquid running down his thigh. pretty sad image to witness.
