Sounds almost as unhealthy as Cytomax & Vodka.

Just take a detour around the craters and volcanoes:

However if you like climbing volcanoes like Ventoux, you might enjoy
Olympus Mons which is the biggest volcano in the Solar System (just make
sure you take lots of EPO, as oxygen is in short supply):

What problem are you trying to solve?

I like water. You can hydrate by drinking water, which is available
in many places - you don't need sports drink. Only problem is if
you are riding someplace where there's a long way between water
sources (MTB'ing, desert, East BFA, life raft). Then you're stuck
with carrying extra bottles or the Camelbak.

If you have a water source but insist on drinking sports drink,
buy that Gatorade powder jar in the supermarket, put some in
a 35mm film can (if you were smart enough to save some
35mm film cans, otherwise buy the equivalent at REI) and
put that in your seat pack.

Or just refuse to go on any ride without a beer stop.

I've tried the film canister trick and it works pretty well, but I've
settled on a trick that I think works better. I use sandwich-size zip
lock bags. Put one bottle's worth of energy drink mix in each bag,
roll 'em up so there's no extra air, then zip 'em close.

As I often ride long enough to need 3 or 4 bottles of drink mix in
addition to the couple I start with, I fix enough bags for what I think
I'll need, plus at least one extra (never know when the bonk will
strike) and put them all in one extra bag. Keeps 'em in one compact
package that fits in a jersey pocket, and keeps 'em from getting messy
should one of 'em come open.

I've also found it nice that as you go through the day and you want to
peel off some of your clothing 'cause it's warmer than when you
started, the bulk in your pocket is gone and there's room for discarded
clothing. The film canisters take up space whether there's mix in them
or not, whereas the empty bag can just be thrown away after use. (yeah,
you can throw the canisters away, I know, but they're not as easy to
replace)

Thanks in advance for your response.

You are welcome, ex post facto.

That's nothing. In Seattle, those are a dime a dozen, and in fact,
they have a Starbucks INSIDE ANOTHER STARBUCKS.

Starbucks is PEOPLE. IT'S MADE OF PEOPLE!!!
