So, salt tabs or not? Suck it up and start drinking the sports drinks! Or, start putting the electrolytes packets into water bottles (http://www.powerbar.com/Products/Electrolytes/).

Outside of the fact that you can die, it makes you feel just awful to get dehydrated and your electrolytes low. Dehydration...a possible cure for JustwaitaLoogy disease.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - WAFA |
