About ten years ago i learned the hard way to drink something other than water. It was over 100 degrees and i worked all day from sunup to almost sundown cutting wood. i didn't have far to go as it was across the street but i cut, loaded and unloaded three truckloads of oak.
I bled sweat all day and drank plenty of water but that night after i had a bath and sit in the recliner i started cramping up, i mean felt like every muscle in my body was trying to cramp. i would move to try and get one out and another in a different place would hit. It was horrible. my wife went and got me some gatorade and i drank two big bottles of it. after a bit it eased up.
The two muscles inside the upper leg will bring tears to your eyes when they cramp. i never made that mistake again. i always drink water and gatorade. This new stuff is so weak i doubt it will work. I will try some of that stuff ya'll mentioned. i don't need the drinks with caffiene.
