SSRIs got me drinking Gatorade and Powerade all day. I don't like low sugar stuff, like Gatorlyte or Prime.

This is a very hot take but milk. I get straight bullied for it by my friends and family but atleast I have the excuse of a medical reason.

For me, milk is incredibly hydrating and satisfying to drink. Genuine pick me up in the mornings, the coldness is refreshing but I've had water at that temp and it isn't the same. Its like my head clears and suddenly I am awake. I think the reason for this is a mixture. I drank a lot of milk as a kid, especially in the mornings because water tasted gross (only in the morning), so it could partly just be nostalgic or comforting but also it satisfies my cravings. However, I chug that shit, the glass is gone in less than a second, so perhaps its the coldness mixed with how fast I am drinking it just waking me up idk.

My medical reason is that I piss all my calcium away so I am constantly craving it

Dude yeah chugging cold milk after waking up is elite.

Look into drink mixes for endurance athletes. We use this stuff constantly.

I personally love Skratch. They make a more traditional 70cal/scoop mix and also make an electrolyte-only mix that's easier on the digestive track if you don't need the sugar for exercise.

A bit expensive. Does look too bad though. Wish it was cheaper alternative to body armours. Its super basic and could be made much cheaper they just from sourcing the ingredients yourself.

Ice cold water, or Gatorade if I need the electrolytes (usually due to hangover, rather than exercise). Orange or yellow-green, red and white are tolerable, fuck blue

lol thanks for all the suggestions of water, but when I'm on SSRIs it runs right through me.

Liquid IV. I'll bring a few packets if I know I'm going to be sweating. It's also great for a hangover.
