OK. OK I'll lead off. My sports are basketball, football, soccer, golf, tennis, badminton, volleball and roque primarily. I drink Gatorade Strawberry Kiwi in the plastic bottle and the twist cap. I'm also trying a beverage called "Trek" just like the bicycle. Has anyone tried it? It comes in a nalgene ("I just found out that nalgene is a durable, clear freezeproof, smash proof, rugged type of plastic") bottle and has of those deals climbers use. What are they called, Caribiners or something like that? I hear it's more common out West, it's rare here. The Trek. I refill those Gatorade and Trek bottles with spring water from Whole Foods in Austin. We don't have our own reverse osmosis on our well yet. I like Mad River "Red Tea" and I've heard of another beverage called soy20 that's about to be released. I may have to mail order some, it's not locally available. What's your sport and drink of choice while playing/competing?

I'm a Gatorade user... actually addict. I love the stuff, especially the Extremo flavors. I've tried Powerade (hated it), and a couple of the others (yucky). Also use PowerGel, strawberry-banana being my favorite (it has caffiene).

What's the *best* sports drink for energy? For fluid replacement?

water for fluid replacement, can't beat it. the energy side is almost personal preference/need. I can drink straight Gator while I exercise, but have had friends that must dilute it. For energy while doing a long (over 60 min) I prefer the PowerGels. In that genre, there's also ClifShots, GU, and a bunch of others. And water... gotta have water. When out on my bike I carry 1 bottle of GatorAid and 1 bottle of water. I have an extra cage that if necessary I could slide another water in.
