Do You Still Consume Sports Drinks?

Like softdrinks, I've given up drinking sports drinks. It's quite hard at first, with all the manufacturers advertisements everywhere, but I've learned to live without it especially after I found out what health disasters these kind of drinks will do to me.

In exchange for "increased energy" and "improved performance" sports drinks may be bad for your teeth. It's 30 times more erosive to one's teeth than regular water. The citric acid content of sports drinks will also soften your tooth enamel. Sugar-free and low calorie sports drinks may also contain artificial sweeteners which is worse than sugar itself.

So what do I drink instead of sports drinks? Fresh water. It's refreshing, thirst-quenching and won't burn a hole in my pockets!
