Do you use energy drinks while riding?

Hey!

A friend is doing research on area cyclists who indulge in energy drinks while riding (PBR doesn't count).

Can I ask you to answer a few questions he has regarding this?

Thanks in advance!

Everclear and rain water. Why would you trust your health to anything else?

I learned the value of electrolyte replenishment recently and am now a convert to Nuun tablets. Add to water bottles as you refill them. If you're really sweating, you need more than H2O. In this hot weather, nothing to mess around with. Dehydration isn't pretty.

Sugar in Gatorade was added to make it commercially viable but counteracts the benefits.
