I love coconut water and always have it on hand in the summer.  We like the Vita Coconut brand in the small blue / green packs. We buy it by the case from Costco. 

I only drink it very cold though.  I get dehydrated pretty quickly and start to feel queasy.  The coconut water makes me feel better almost instantly.  I also use the hydration packets in plain water by Liquid IV, Cure and Ultimate.  All very good.

@wilma Have you tried any of the hydration packets you add to water?  I just picked up some at the grocery store the other day made by Celsius, but I've seen them by other brands too.  You can get large bags of them at Costco.  

I get dehydrated while working in the yard and thought I might try these.  

My hubby buys those hydration packets he gets them at Walmart.  He hardly ever drank water before, he got real sick and had a bout with dehydration several years ago almost landed in the hospital, he's now drinking more water..

I think the Coconut Water is not a good thing, woke up with stomach issues. I am going to stop it for a day or two and see if my stomach feels better.

@I am still oxox.  If you'll read all the posts, somebody else said it upset her stomach.

There's nothing like the real thing. My parents returned to the Carribbean after spending many years here.

Coconut Tree
everywhere. My dad drank Coconut water every day. He lived to be 97. That morning he got up, cut open his coconut and hours later he left us. He enjoyed what he liked best to the end.
