Once or twice a month I take a weekend to go dancing (usually swing) and rack up to about 15 hours or so dancing. These aren't consecutive (obviously) and sometimes I sweat, but generally not too much because they keep the rooms nice and cold. Should I be drinking gatorade or something to keep myself hydrated? I try not to drink or eat too much while I'm dancing because it makes me feel sick...

    Yes, it is very important to keep hydrated during any type of physical activity. Not to knock your Gatorade... but if you drink it for the purpose of replacing your electrolytes try GLACEAU Smartwater!

    I don't know if Powerade or Gaterade are the same as far as ingredients go, but I drank (a sip) of Powerade at our rally this past weekend, and was FLOORED there was over 30 Grams of Sugar in it!!! WTF and F-Dat!
