Mountain Dew tastes good.. and it provides caffeine.. It does NOT quench thirst..

Water, Propel, and Gatorade do that..

THAT is a matter of opinion, depending on each person's taste. I LIKE Dew, but mostly for the extra caffiene...I DON'T think it's the BEST soda, just a decent one. IMO, it helps quench a thirst, but perhaps not as well as some of the "engineered drinks".

Gatorade increas my thirst, for some reason. Maybe it is too sugary, or tates too sugary. Never been a big Gatorade fan.

I used to prefer Powerade to Gatorade.

For quenching THIRST, water is clearly #1. If you're only a little thirsty, or just need something to wash down your food, soda, juice, beer, wine etc. work.

I prefer to hook up to a saline drip. Now thats some thirst quenching goodness! Actually, water is good. Mtn Dew does not a thirst quench.

Mt. Dew just makes my thirst even worse than it was previous to drinking it..

Water with a little bit of real lemon squeezed in is a much better choice

Mountain Drew is the greatest soda of all-time. Heh I made a thread about it a couple months ago, and there was some fierce debate about it.

I'd have to disagree 100%. Mountain Dew tastes like @ss. And it DOES quench thirst. That caffeine argument is false.

Suppose you drink 8 oz of water with some caffeine in it. Suppose that caffeine made you urinate an extra 1 oz. You have a net gain of 7 oz of water to your body. Thus, you quenched 7 oz of thirst.

True, if you drank 8 oz of pure water, you'd quench 8 oz of thirst. But to pretend that the caffeinated water didn't quench thirst is demonstrably false.

So the people who only drink soda always feel thirsty? They always have the desire to drink? Hah! Think about it, what you are saying is quite silly.

Unlike cola products Mtn. Dew does quench your thirst. I prefer the Livewire flavor.
