1. Water provides adequate hydration without sugar, sodium, or caffeine to obtain a balance in electrolytes.
2. Kool-Aid contains sugar. Red drinks should be avoided because if there is any type of GI bleed, the red color disguises it.
3. Diet soda contains sodium, which will cause further electrolyte damage.
4. The color of the Gatorade will make it difficult to assess the vomitus fluid.
