		A third advantage of sports drinks over water with respect to hydration is that the sodium content of sports drinks stimulates thirst, so athletes usually drink more when they have a sports drink than when they have plain water.
		Drink A was a conventional sports drink containing 15 grams of carbohydrate per 100 ml.

		To finally put the issue of sports drinks vs. water to rest, recent research presented at the June 1999 American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) Conference shows that sports drinks are substantially better than water for preventing dehydration in adults and kids - even in "stop-and-go" activities that last less than an hour.
		Not only did the sports drink (Gatorade) score significantly higher in overall acceptability (liking) than the water, diluted fruit juice or homemade sports drink, but the exercisers drank significantly more of the sports drink than the other beverages, encouraging fluid intake and preventing dehydration.
		By drinking the carbohydrate drinks, the exercisers maintained a high-intensity effort for an average of 28 minutes longer than when the same exercisers unknowingly drank the flavored water placebo.

		Ironically, drinking sports drinks when you exercise and your mouth is dry is particularly problematic because you don't have enough saliva in your mouth to combat the drink's acidity.

		But leave the sports drinks at home, or, better yet, back on the supermarket shelf and bring some water with you instead.

	Is there a cheap and effective sports drink I can mix myself
		However, there is good evidence that a cooled, flavoured sports drink of suitable composition encourages drinking and so may be better than plain water as a means of preventing dehydration, even for low-moderate physical activity in mild conditions.
		With the availability of a multitude of pre-mixed, flavoured sports drinks, or powders to which you simply add water, it is only the very dedicated (or money-conscious) sports person who is likely to bother with mixing their own sports drink.
		It is also a good idea to drink before the activity - eg, about 300-500mL of your sports drink (or as much as you can comfortably drink up to this amount) about 15 minutes before the activity begins.

		Also, while the two sports drinks contained the same amount of carbohydrates, they were not calorie matched, making it impossible to tell if the effects of the carbohydrate-protein sports drink resulted from additional calories or from the protein itself.
		It's important to understand that the primary reason for consuming a sports drink is to prevent dehydration by rapidly replacing the fluid and electrolytes lost through sweat.
