Is it okay for an adult to drink pedialyte?

Asked by Yellowdog (12216points) February 11th, 2020

One day at the store, there was no Vitamin Water, no Gatorade or Powerade, only sugary beverages.

But there were medium-sized bottles of Pedialyte, which looked pretty good, I bought a bottle for less than the cost of Red Bull, and once I started drinking the Pedialyte I slammed it down fast. It felt like it was exactly what my body was needing.

I had no more cravings for energy drinks or sugar for the rest of the evening.

I could really drink this stuff, even watered down, but I wonder if this stuff that is supposed to replace lost fluid and electrolytes can be overdone.

I drank two bottles this week and would like to drink it daily

What say? Is it safe to drink this much electrolyte replacement?
