I find after a 90 minute workout at the gym, I'll drink a water bottle, and then need to replace at least a quart on top of that. On my long runs, I tend to drink 1 Gatorade per hour, courtesy of the pervasive New York City bodega phenomenon. That helps with both the sugar and the electrolytes. I've tried Nuun on bike rides and like it too.

I carry a bottle with EFS, which is the saltiest of the various options and includes salts from Sodium, Potassium, Magnesium and Zinc (the quadfecta of minerals in perspiration). EFS also offers a few calories. Because it is salty and not sweet there is no problem with nausea. EFS is just a variant on Nuun, though, which has the same inputs in slightly smaller doses (and of course you control the concentration of all of these mixes).<br /><br />Commonality: I say it is universal although a matter of degree. When I last made an effort to test this, a few years back, I found I required between 36 and 48 oz of liquid per hour to keep up with the sweat loss -- which is to say keeping up is futile.
