Gatorade is great to use when I can, but I always just use water. If you ever come to point and see my house (big, live with 8 people) When you walk in my room you see this big bag filled with water. It has a lil' tube connected to it that leads to my bed pillow so I dont have to get up for water in the morning( just turn my head and suck). The only part that sucks is having to pee, Id tell you want I do with that, but dont think I want to post it on here.
