Remember, sodas and most canned/packaged drinks are of no or little use for hydration.
Some in fact are bad for hydration as caffine and aspertine supposedly hinder the bodys ability to absorb water.
Just plain ol' water is best!! Add a little powdered flavor if needed/desired.

When I was stationed in the desert, we were told that for every can of soda or flavored juice you drink, it will take up to a quart of water from your system to break it down and process it. Even when drinking Gatrorade, we were told to drink water afterwards. Gatorade is fine, but if that's all your drinking, you're not getting the most out of it.
