Well, technically, if you're sweating, you're loosing more than just water--you're loosing salt, too, and both salt and water are essential to keep your hydrated. If you don't have enough salt you can't "absorb" the water, but if you have too much you can actually dehydrate yourself--so paradoxically, drinking seawater can make you dehydrated. So the point of sports drinks is basically to help you restore both ingredients in your balance without you having to eat something, which is normally how you get the sodium.

Plain ol' water usually works for me, but a cold one is good when I've been working hard (I think I worked hard once back in '03).

Oooh, I gotta agree with you there--OJ is the holiest of all juices. Especially fresh-squeezed. YUM.
