That is true, but you can get other drinks that replenish your electrolytes with out having sugar. Tea shops often times have brewable electrolyte drinks and out-doorsy, hiking supply stores have all kinds of shit you can eat and drink that contain larger than normal does of electrolytes without containing any refined sugar.

Need help with purchasing headphones.
A lot of people, myself included, like yummy, colored headphones for their first. Headphones like the MS1's, which I love the sound of are in reality, for more refined ears. My first set of headphones that I loved were Grado sr-80's. They're fast, lively and have a visceral, punchy bass. They're $99 and like all the headphones mentioned so far in this thread, have a descent resale value if you don't like them.

The thing about these types of studies is that if people have been doing "X" for a hundred years with out any problems then no matter what any new study may imply, it really doesn't mean shit.

It's refreshing to see that there are so many professional alcoholics with us here at head-case.

because an eight followed by a ) is the code to make the sunglass guy emoticon. If you tap on the sunglass guy smiley you'll see that it types out an 8 followed by a ) with no space. When you post it the sunglasses guy appears.

it's not dehydration so much but one of the effects of dehydration. When you put a ton of fluid in your system, particularly the kind that cause you to piss a ton. It will cause your serum sodium levels to drop. When you don't have enough sodium in your body fluids then you have awful headaches and nausea plus gastritis from punishing your stomach with about a pound of carbohydrates. If you're really loaded at night, it's not a good idea to drink a bunch of water. Adding more fluids that you're just going to piss out anyway will lower your serum sodium levels even more causing you to ultimately feel worse. It's a better idea to drink something that replenishes your electrolytes and fluid levels.

I'm definitely an amateur. I only drink a hand full of times a year. I didn't get silly drunk but drunk enough.

Head Caser of the Year 2007
Pretzel is too head-fi. Head-Case needs its own arbitrarily chosen funny snack food. I nominate the Funyun.

Wow postjack, I didn't know we liked any of the same music. Now that I know that you also like Yankee Hotel Foxtrot and White Light you're starting to look more and more to me.- Counterpoint: Bands you love that other people don't get.
Glenn Branca is a big one for me. I can't play him at all at work with out eliciting a few sighs.- Bands you don't get that everyone else seems to like
Fiery Furnace is a big one for me but Beck after Odelay makes no sense to me. ThreeSix Mofia, Mac Dre, The Smiths, and The Cure are all bands I just can't stand.- Post the last thing you bought!
These are the headphones I bought over at the fi from cantsleep. I so chomping at the bit to get my mitts on them that it hurts! He recabled them himself with silver wire.- Happy birthday aardvark sandwich!
Happy birthday. When it comes to music you and I are simpatico.- Head Caser of the Year 2007
I'm actually a neo-chimera. I have the head of the dog, cat and super hot cheerleader girl.- Head Caser of the Year 2007
Shit, if there are going to be prizes then I nominate myself. I believe that my qualifications for Head-Case member of the year are; 1) I have a whopping 1142 posts and 5 of them are in the headphones section. That's 0.1196% according to my statistics. You can't argue against those numbers. 2) As if reason no. 1 wasn't enough, 12.5954% of the posts in the "Games" board are mine. I ask each of you to look into your heart and ask yourself "what is Head-Case all about?". I think you'll find "banal posts about video games" to be the answer. 3) Lets not forget about my recent tantrum in the "what are you watching right now" topic. 4) Did I bring up the tantrum? As you can see, the choice is clear. Chekhonte is the member of the year.- Post the last thing you bought!
That's good to hear. I've always wanted a pair of HP-2s but they're so far out of my fucking price range than I can't even think about it.- Flash Games (Cat with Bow Golf)
That game is surprisingly fun.- Post the last thing you bought!
I just ordered a pair of MS-2i's. I'm really excited to hear them for the first time. I hope they're not too similar to my HD650's.- What are you reading now?
The Feeling of What Happens. It's a book by a neurologist on human consciousness. It's really amazing. - Bands you don't get that everyone else seems to like
