        I‘d argue on that but only because the quality of tap water can vary so immensely… Almost nothing beats good tap water but I’ve had tap water that was so godawful I’d rather drink almost anything else if there’s no way to filter it

          I’ll give you that caveat. My brother lives in the rural town where we grew up in the butthole of Oklahoma, and his water is so hard that they justified spending thousands of dollars on a whole home water softening system. My in laws pump their own water and it’s foul. I think they need to be filtering it. I think there’s something in their groundwater.

          As for the water in the urban and suburban parts of Oklahoma City, it’s pretty hard to find truly bad tap water.

      Not sure why I expected Paulaner Spezi to be some kind of ready-made Cola-Weizen.

    I’m going to disagree. Water, alone, is about a B+, maybe an A-. If you’ve ever been working out really intensely, to the point where you feel nauseous and could drink a liter of water and still be desperately thirsty, then you’ll understand that you also need to get electrolytes, things like sodium, potassium, and magnesium. The mineral content in plain water is too low for that; a sugar-free (preferably unsweetened) sports drink is going to be better for you than water alone.

      Putting water alone back to S tier for ~100% of the population about 90-100% of the time :)

      Unless you have a balanced diet that anticipates your workouts and gives you the proper amount of sodium, potassium and magnesium. Sports drinks are just selling you those at a big premium. Stick with water. Eat a banana.

      There’s approximately 0% of people that actually need Gatorade/sports drinks, unless they were stranded without water for a prolonged period.

      It was developed to help football players in Florida stay hydrated for the duration of a game. The conditions there are 90%+ humidity, and 80+ degrees while wearing full pads. Then being in that state for about 5 or so hours without eating.

      No one really is exposed to that level of perspiration except athletes.

    I’d fight the shit out of you but I am afraid you are just too well hydrated and I stand no chance.

      Imagine having to add solid bits of water to make it better. The audacity.
