Drinking gatorade is fine, but it's no better than water. Gatorade is designed for people who are losing vital salts and electrolytes by sweating, and the last time I checked, drinking yourself under the table didn't require much physical activity. Gatorade won't hurt, but it won't help any more than regular plain old agua.
Keep drinking water, too. Don't stop when you start drinking alcohol.
And yes, as you get older, your body will be less and less able to handle the dehydration without some sort of icky physical response.
And my husband's dick is huge.

I find that when Im drunk, Im more likely to drink all of the gatorade because its flavored. If I stick to water, I dont usually get through more than half a bottle unless I force myself.
