Remember, there are
those of us that cannot handle salty stuff. And you've got the answer
here--FOOD!! An important part of hydration
is EATING.

The flip side of that is that cooler drinks help to
mitigate a hot body, too. Some people are prone to stomach
cramps. I can chug ice-cold drinks and feel much better for doing
so. Likewise, tepid water doesn't help me out near as
