Seriously? Wow, I need to take notes from this thread for future reference. Who says "vanity threads" aren't worthy sometimes.

I'm thinking of adding vodka to the orange juice.

NOW you're talking....(thought I'd leave that part out for ol' ken21...but let's not diss the healthy properties of alcohol!)

yo, ken...don't do it...alcohol can dehyrate you even more.....wait until the AM to add the vodka.

Pickle juice is very good. A lot of people don't realize that to keep those other minerals in the body, you have to have some salt to replace sweat losses and prevent further dehydration.

too true...and I love pickles. actually, my daughter is prone to dehydration...but I can't get her to eat pickles! (not from MY side of the family, to be sure!)...so we do salt tablets for her.

Dr. Shoall's makes an OTC pill called "Leg Cramps". Take one with a 32oz Gatorade just before bedtime.

If you can't find the pills, just do the gatorade, same results.

salt + water = gatorade.

salt + water = sweat.

LOL...and the loss of salt + water creates a NEED for salt + water (plus electrolytes).

AMAAAAAIZING! LOL!
