"electrolyte beverages", e.g. gatorade, are generally not caffeinated. Why would somebody fall apart after drinking one without sugar? It's basically just water with food coloring and a bit of sodium and potassium. Also, I've been taking caffeine pills for the better part of a decade, often on an empty stomach. There's no crash from the absence of sugar, the only sort of crash I get occurs a few days after each time I try to quit the stuff.
