Gatorade is chock full of electrolites (sp?) which help you retain water in your body. Basically the electrolites are found in salts that are added to the gatorade, hence the high sodium content. The sugar gives you an instant boost of energy because it is easy for your body to quickly break it down and convert it to energy.
Gatorade feeds your body with electrolytes. Electrolytes are ions that maintain the charge between your cells membrains. The ions are from salts. Alot of people doing physically intensive labour consume salt tablets because the sodium ions replenish electrolytes that are usually lost when sweating (hence the reason sweat tastes salty). Replenishing them ensures that your electrolyte balance remains in tact and that your muscles are functioning to their full potential.

Gatorade contains lots of glucose, which is broken down and stored in the muscle as glycogen or broken down into CO2 + H2O via glycolysis. When it is broken down as glycolysis, it uses ATP or in other words energy and that is how we keep going and have more energy in our body. If we didn't have that, then we would eventually fall into fatigue stage. We produce lactic acid and if we have too much of it then we would pass out. Gatorade helps to maintain our blood lactic concentration at a certain pace because we're using a lot of oxygen (ie. when dancing for 8hrs straight) and also breaks down glucose (a form of sugar) into ATP, thus giving us more energy to dance. As far as the recovery is concerned, Gatorade will not help us to recover. It only helps us during oxygen-form activity (ie. running) to keep us going. In order to recover faster, we need our liver to produce more glucose. Basically that is why you don't want to drink alcohol at the guv. Also because alcohol raises your body temperature and you all know what happens then. Anyway, if you want to stay active during the party, keep drinking gatorade, or red bull since that's I think the only energy drink there. As far as recovery, take a lot of vitamin A and C before the party and obviously take protein when you need to recover, that is probably the best way to go. Protein helps you to recover faster. I always have a glass of fresh squeezed OJ and some vitamin A, C and E capsules. Hope some of this info will help you recover faster next time. Other than that, I'm off to make myself a nice protein smoothie. Need to get ready for Ferry spanking tonight!!!
is it in you??

don't drink alcohol or red bull (or anything w/ caffeine in it) after partying, this is basic stuff people! you will only dehydrate your self more.
Sometimes after partying I'll drink 1 beer for every 2 parts water. It really takes the comedown edge off if you're a little hammed. I don't really recommend it because your body'll hate you, but it helps me get through the next day sometimes.

last night i'm out and i order a red bull. I'm under a black light and its glowing neon green. It was very interesting sure tasted good though.
