Drewhunz 3 Report post Posted February 4, 2006 My friend is a kinesiologist and a personal trainer and swears by this stuff. He claimed it was like Gatorade and only drinks this stuff when he works out. He gave me a can to see what I thought when I played hockey this week. As I put it in my bottle, I couldn't help but notice that it is a yellowish/gray color and smelled salty but sweet. I took a swig. I had uncontrolable dry heaves for a good 15 minutes. STAY FAR FAR AWAY. It could only be described as pure torture in a can. It is called Pocari Sweat due to the fact that its formulation is supposed to mimic sweat, and thus be more readily absorbed into the body. FROM NOW ON, I'M TAKING MY CHANCES AND ONLY DRINKING PLAIN OLD WATER.** MACK, I'll be awaiting your witty reply** Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drewhunz 3 Report post Posted February 4, 2006 so why exactally is your friend so in love with it? He claims that it keeps him hydrated better than any water or sports drink. By the way- he's a vegan who wears those stupid vegetarian shoes and Phish t-shirts. Boy has he changed since high school! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

biff44 0 Report post Posted February 5, 2006 I suggest you just ring out your hockey socks after every practice and save the sweat in a bottle. Then just before game time you could add some sugar and chug away! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A day in the Sahara may make you dehydrated. The flu might dehydrate you, but short of that I have yet to get dehydrated from an hour or two of hockey.

I'm sure it makes a ounce of Pocari Sweat seem like an apertif... ;) Unfortunately, I have to do that about once a year (family history of colon cancer). But I would rather drink GoLightly, ipecac syrup (done that for a little of the old cashish) and a case of Beverly than drink Pocari Sweat ever again.

Aren't you glad you did this before you were on the ice and dying of thirst, and in full gear.That reminds me when I had a case of the runs and discovered just how quickly I could get out of my pads. I guess its all about the motivation.Awall Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
