I hardly drink much water at all, and if it is it's in the form of lemonade with fresh squeezed lemon, sea salt and sugar. Other drinks Coffee, with cream and sugar, but also salt. Salt 10x's the flavor. I drink whole milk as well, a lot more than plain water.
I just find the combination of sugar and salt to be really hydrating. If I drink plain water, I'll be going to the bathroom pretty soon after.
The Truth About Salt and Sugar
Here is a wonderful article I just found from this search
"
What do you get when combining salt and sugar in the correct ratio with water? A super hydrator. When you combine glucose with sodium in a 1:1 ratio, the sodium-glucose cotransport system is activated in the gut. Combining salt with sugar in this 1:1 ratio is the fastest way to get hydration into your bloodstream aside from an actual IV. The glucose accelerates the absorption of sodium and water into the system, hydrating you faster than water by itself. Liquid I.V. utilizes this science by combining salt and sugar within the range that the World Health Organization (WHO) has deemed to be most effective for hydration.
The sodium glucose co-transport system was first discovered in the 1960s by Dr. Robert Crane and according to the Lancet British Medical Journal, “The discovery that sodium transport and glucose transport are coupled in the small intestine so that glucose accelerates absorption of solute and water (is) potentially the most important medical advance this century.” This incredible breakthrough in science was put to use by the World Health Organization (WHO) in the 1970s to save lives around the world where people were dying of dehydration due to diseases like cholera. The method of applying this life saving combination of sodium, glucose, and water is called oral rehydration therapy and is used today, but not widely known in the United States. Our goal is to change that.
