Water is great for hydration without filling you otherwise. Like, say you need to drink a lot of fluid because you are really active, you would probably get sick of milk pretty quickly.

It's hard to explain a common behavior by reference to a rare circumstance.
- seanmcdirmid 2y agoSports drinks aren’t really good for you, but you definitely can drink a lot more of them than you can milk.
- thaumasiotes 2y agoThe idea of sports drinks is that you can drink them without getting water poisoning. This is only a concern if you need a lot of water because you've been sweating a lot, but I thought that was the scenario you were pointing to.
