lol so fruit punch is a no go?. i've never seen gatorade here, but i am intrigued by the off key coloured ones like blue and green. i want to try arctic blitz, icy charge, glacier freeze, cool blue and lime cucumber.

Don't listen to the n00b, the fruit punch is good. I rarely drink Gatorade, but I prefer the G2, it's less sweet than the regular stuff.

I'm talking a hot ass day, your shirt is drenched with sweat, the sun is beating your ass down, you get home immediately take off all your clothes, and then hop in a shower with that cold as ice beer and just drink it while the water showers all over you. Yeah man that hits the fuckin spot right there

*high five*



FFTX. But to answer your question, for short periods (lawn mowing), ice water. If I'm dog-tired (working out, lots of yard work), cold grape sports drink.

Beer is only if I don't have anything else to do for the day. It makes me sleepy and kills any focus I might have for something important.

The secret is to drink more beer. If I have just one, I've found that once my body is done absorbing it, I get sleepy. But if I have more, I can keep going and going.

Gotta keep your tank full!

Any of the flavor's bogard mentioned are better than fruit punch. Even lemon lime and orange are good. Besides, Kool-Aid AND Hi-C do fruit punch better.

I mean, I guess fruit punch is ok, bogard, but put that at the bottom of your list to try.

root beer and gatorade is on my list of all the things i want to try for when i get to the states.
here in Germany there used to be whole shelves of US imported food/drinks in larger supermarkets close to where troops were stationed. There are still a few that carry a selection... maybe you have the same in the UK? [import shelves I mean]

(I gotta say though, root beer is fucking disgusting. Tastes like bad medicine...)

Proper root-beer is delicious, you German shithead.

You just triggered me back when I was in Kazakhstan and all I wanted was a water, just one bottle, and I couldn't tell which ones were carbonated and which weren't.

Green label/top= carbonated
Blue label/top= still
Then the French brought out vittel with its red label and lid and fucked everyone.
