Anyone know of a sports drink with no caffeine that has electrolytes like Gatorade and tastes yummy and has a better sweetener, like sugar, for example?

Is there a kosher version of it, or powerade? Like the kosher version of Coke for passover . . .

I think it depends on what you're looking for. If you're looking for a one night stand, then go ahead and bring it out. If they are more than receptive, you might change your mind about just doing them once.

If you're looking to start a relationship, you should get drunk after a few dates (and some vanilla fucking) and talk about shit you've done and would like to do. That would set the table.

doesn't everything that tastes salty have electrolytes?

This reminds me of an etiquitte question recently asked of me by a male friend of mine. He is notoriously into a variety of kinky shit*, so not much should suprise him, yet this did.

First date (they always are). She's on top. Without asking or warning, she starts choking him. He thinks "ok, I'll try for a little while, I have friends who are into this and they have told me this is awesome." He lets her go for a little while then takes her hands away from his throat. He said it hurt like hell.

The "do you bring your kinks out on the first date" discussion ensued, and everyone agreed that it's probably a good idea to lay it all out there early on so six months into dating, you're not hit with a "I'm into the furries" fetish.

But, should a) bring out your knink on the first date/fuck? and b) isn't it polite to warn someone about the kink before engaging in the kink? Does it depend on the kink?

Frankly, if I were to let someone choke me (and I'd have to think a little about that before it were to happen) it'd have to be someone I trusted, and I don't think most first date/fucks are in that category.

I think you should ask. My head is still spinning a little having read that. Choking is not something you just do. think about it, if it was reversed, the woman would probably throw his ass out and call the cops. you should ask. Any type of kink that involves the participation of another, whether your thing is dom/sub, golden showers, pain, punishment, scat, whatever, you should ask. and into the relationship when there is trust built up. yuk.

Whoops. Sorry. The * was intended to point out that I wasn't going to laundry list his kinky shit, but not because of Not Bob's admonition. I've been witness to some of it, though it was sort of hard to see everything through the steam.

Translation: *Cleveland Steamer.

I do eat bananas. And drink water. But they don't seem to do the trick as well as Gatorade for giving me back my energy.

How about Pedilyte (or however you spell it)? I think that is intended to replenish the electrolytes without the sugar.

ETA: WebMD has a recipe, though there's a rather alarming warning above it.

Pedialyte is nasty tasting, unless you like that sort of thing.

Maybe get Gatorade not made in the US? Damn sugar tariffs fuck up most bottled sweetened drinks.

I thought you just sucked a cock dry after every workout.

Gatorade doesn't have HFCS:

Here are the hypos, I think:

No late hit on a quarterback, short of one that injures, changes the game. Neither does helmet-on-helmet contact. Are you telling me that if someone nailed Manning as hard as he could without hurting him 5 seconds after he let go of the ball, it shouldn't be called because game play was not affected?

No. I think I was pretty clear in saying that egregious penalties should be called.

No. Because that would be blatant, right? And the player should be punished. But a player who disregards a rule at the end of the game and takes a chance and smacks a quarterback in the face (but not too hard), hoping the refs don't make the automatic call shouldn't be punished because that is even farther away from affecting play than the above hypo?

Yes. Most obviously because your first case above involved an overtly intentional effort to hurt the QB, while here it's much less clear. A lot of reffing involves judgment calls that are much easier to evaluate ex post than ex ante. Ex ante, don't throw the flag in a close game in circumstances where you're not pretty certain.

I think the whole argument is ridiculous. And the Patriots may be upset with the call, but inside, each one of them is thinking, "What the fuck was he thinking? There are 90 seconds left and he knows he can't put his hands on the face of the quarterback. He fucked up."

Probably so, but I wasn't attempting to absolve Tully Banta-Cain of any responsibility for the result. I was just saying that I thought it was bad reffing. Also, I haven't seen a replay. Maybe he was swinging for Manning's head out of frustration.

What if there was an inadvertent five yard face mask on the receiver that didn't affect the play? Should the ref swallow his whistle there too?

Depends on how inadvertent, but yes. If you have :30 left in a four-point game and there's a completion down to the 10-yard line, and the penalty would move the ball to the 5, and the contact is incidental, don't throw the flag. The reason to penalize inadvertent penalties is to incent (I hate that word) more careful play, but that goal should be subordinated at the end of a close game.

How about if another player flattens a receiver all the way on the other side of the field after the ball is already in the air? Swallow the whistle because he was nowhere near the play?

Flattens? Doesn't sound inadvertent. Maybe that the key to what I'm saying.

That's odd. My bottle in front of me right now says that the ingredients are:

Water
sucrose syrup
high fructose corn syrup (glucose-fructose syrup)
citric acid
blah blah blah

Well, my bf has to go to work during the week and I don't see you making yourself available, so what is an electrolyte-depleted girl to do?

I also like gatorade, but share your feeling that there must be something better for me.

I've recently read, in more than one place, that chocolate milk is an ideal post-workout drink. Right mix of carbs/protein/fat and stuff.

My friend swears by this water. Not sure where it is readily available but says it has electrolytes

That web page must be old. I think they recently started using it.
