I'm not Brooks, but I have one comment about this: it can be
difficult to re-hydrate with water, because large quantities can cause
a feeling of bloating and nausea.
I live in a very, very hot and humid summer climate, and I perspire
heavily and become dehydrated easily. For that reason, I am
extremely pleased with the Japanese alkaline micro-cluster water
devices, which these days cost under $500 dollars. On sale a good
unit is less than $300. The one I have has been working well for
about a decade.
This water has a smaller molecular size, and I can drink a liter at
once without that awful bloating effect. This alone makes the machine
worthy of consideration for those whose budget permits. Note also
that the water is reportedly highly antioxidant, contains calcium, and
improves the tastes of food and drink. Of course it includes a good
qualify water filter as well.
Prices quoted in the USA for these machines are typically exorbitant.
You could pay for a trip to Tokyo and pick one up there for the price
of some I have seen advertised.

Dr. Mercola's Comment re sports drinks:
So by all means, get out there and take advantage of the spring
weather by hiking, jogging, walking, playing tennis--anything to be
active. But leave the sports drinks at home, or, better yet, back on
the supermarket shelf and bring some water with you instead.
