Gatorade Is A Misused Drink
Gatorade is a salt replacement drink for when someone is in the hot sun and sweating. People should not be drinking it when they are not sweating a lot. It has far too much sodium in it.

It is misused, but oh well.

OK, that's amusing and you make a good point, BUT the truth is almost any drink or food could be declared misused if the consumer doesn't read the back of the label and follow instructions OR if they combine it with some other product. Coke mixed with rum wasn't the original intention. A "serving" of chips may say 6 chips and then when you eat half the bag someone would say you "misused" the product. I mean with Gatorade it's not like there is a warning notice on the back that says drinking it without extreme exercise "may result in obesity and unearned satisfaction."

Some people like misusing it with Vodka or Rum. Personally I'd rather drink Irish Whiskey and water. Not in the same glass mind you.

It's okay to drink casually if you dilute it properly with H2O.

I agree with spector87 there is not really a way to misuses Gatorade unless you do something with it other than drink it

The only way you could misuse it is if you poured it down your pants instead of in your mouth.

I thought it had something to do with electrolytes??? Correct me if I'm wrong, of course, but according to their website, its just supposed to keep athletes hydrated since they do all that exercise.

 It is also good when recovering from a stomach bug. It replaces some electrolytes, but a banana or orange juice has more potassium though.
