You should only drink gatorade when you've lost electrolytes from sweating. If you drink it like a beverage all the time it's too much sodium. There is a lot of salt in gatorade. No good for the heart.
I substitute soda for iced tea. The caffiene is worse in iced tea than it is in soda, but whatevs. I get the unsweetend kind in a restaurant, keep the sugar light, or use splenda. I dont recommend the iced tea if you wanna stay away from caffiene. Don't get the raspberry kind, that's almost always a fountain tea, along with peach, and has just as much sugar as soda, if not more.
if you wanna flavor your water you could always get some of those little travel packs of light tea mix or lemonade.
Ohh, and Vitamin Water is AWESOME.
