How much is too much Gatorade to drink in a day? Is anyone aware of any websites where studies have been done as far as any health risks with regard to drinking alot of Gatorade?

I have had Gatorade quite a number of times, and I don't think from my experience, that anybody can drink that beverage much.. That's an energy drink, and even if u drink half of the 500 ml bottle, u feel freshened up.. I don't think there are any health risks involved with any of these energy drinks as long as u drink them within limits, which means that u don't drink 2-3 bottles at one time itself...

Yeah, you can drink too much of anything, but gatorade among all sports drinks has electrolytes which can, in large quantities, turn into an intense laxitive. Not to mention the dye used in most of them isn't all that good for you either.

I KNOW I've heard about this before. For the life of me I can't remember where. I think the biggest problem is that people are drinking it who are not active. Gatorade really is for people who do a lot of physical things. And if a person is really not active, then drinking too much is very bad for them.
