What’s in your water bottle at the gym?

[kmman]

I’m asking this because I’ve recently noticed a lot of regulars at my gym don’t have plain water in their water bottles.

I’m curious as to what people put in there. I’m assuming it’s some kind of electrolyte-type mix, but I figured I’d ask the community to get an idea of what people are using and why.

@kmman Electrolyte powder. And since I’m in an over 30 sub, I can say, “it’s what plants crave” and someone may get the reference.

@thejoyfulfollower Ouch! Xennial here and everything after 2000 feels new and recent.

@thejoyfulfollower I fill my Brawndo water bottle with BCAA.

@thejoyfulfollower "Water?....you mean like, from the toilet?!?"

@thejoyfulfollower Welcome to Costco, I love you.

@strongasicanbe Favorite line from the movie, made me laugh so damn hard my first viewing

 

[kmman]

@thejoyfulfollower Do you like a particular brand?

 

[rivensoul]

@kmman Looks like water but its actually vodka

 

[ohara]

@rivensoul As a recovering alcoholic, I did this a time or two

 

[skewefiets]

@ohara In college I used an old McCormick’s handle bottle for a water bottle. So in my case, it looked like vodka, but was water!

@ohara I'm a former alcoholic as well, and I drank a lot of vodka, but I never drank before going to the gym... I can't imagine that'd even be pleasant. That's a new one to me... haven't touched a drop since December of 2020. My withdrawals were so bad that I can't even smell alcohol without wanting to throw up anymore. Life is much better without that poison.

As for the question posted... my water bottle is full of water, and sometimes a package of that Liquid IV stuff if I am feeling a bit dried out.

 

[ohara]

@kandywandy Let's just say, I drank wayyyy longer than I should of , just to prove I was really an alcoholic 3 years sober tho ! Detoxed off alcohol in 2020 and been sober sense . I also love IV. congrats on being sober !!!!!

 

[boxankles]

@ohara I don't either of you but I'm proud of you for getting sober keep up the good work.

@kmman I always have a packet of LMNT (tasty electrolytes), my creatine for the day, and ice

 

[greyknight]

@lionessofchrist Love LMNT, hate the price.

 

[lionessofchrist]

@greyknight Same! Fortunately I get it through work.

 

[javi19]

@lionessofchrist LMNT is $1 for about .001 cents of salt, magnesium, potassium and flavoring.
