Question about drinking Gatorade

So, I know that gatorade has electrolytes in it. Wikipedia has told me that electrolytes are free ions that do something or other. Basically, in a sports drink, electrolytes replenish stuff lost in dehydration. Now here's where my question comes in: I was hungover today. A hangover is generally caused by dehydration due to the intake of alcohol and a little bit of the after effects of the alcohol itself. I quit drinking around 1am last night. It's not 1am tonight, so it's been a good 24 hours since I had an intake of alcohol. I just started drinking some gatorade, and I feel refreshed, I guess you could call it. Like my legs feel all tingly like it would had you just ran a mile and just sat down. Now, is the gatorade actually making me feel like this, or is it just my sub-conscious making me think that I'm feeling this from the gatorade since I know the electrolytes help cure dehydration?

Ever considered the sugar in Gatorade?

well you have a hangover because your body didn't have enough water, and the electrolytes kind of made up for that, so yes it was probably the gatorade. drinking it helps me with hangovers too :B

Why don't you just eat when you drink?

It's mostly your sub-concious... or what's left of it. D:

I drink gatorade all day last week because that's the only "juice" I have in my fridge, I feel refreshed and energetic all day.

Drink gatorade ONLY when your exercising. If you drink it regularly, the sugar turns into fat.

Your going to ask a bunch of kids that aren't even old enough to drink, heck I bet most basilers have never even touched the stuff. But OT: It just your sub-conscious.

TraceLegacy said: "Ever considered the sugar in Gatorade?" I drink pop all day. I drink about 60oz each day, which is about 46g of sugar in every 12oz. That's 230g of sugar I drink a day in pop. Now, the 14g of sugar I get from half of my gatorade is not the reason I feel like this when drinking gatorade.
