Gatorade is not good for you, unless you need to rehydrate. Then it is very good

A 12-oz. Coke has 2% of the RDA of sodium

Sports drinks have sodium in them. It’s an electrolyte.

A little bit of sugar actually helps with salt absorption (see Gatorade)

Gatorade does not have a little bit of sugar.
