Tastes like hospital-grade cleaning products. If you feel the need to reach for one of these, get yourself to the doctor quick.

This bubble gum-flavoured sports drink is far too intense for the AM. If you’re feeling nauseous already, this is not going to help.

An unappetising colour is made worse by a stale citrus flavour that will only remind you of all the happy hour Margaritas that you drank last night.

When you’re after quantity not quality, this epic one-litre sports drink delivers twice the electrolytes of any of its competitors, which may or may not be worth the kiddies cordial taste.

If you find yourself in a hungover state quite regularly, you might benefit from one of the sugar-free varieties, which saves you around 11 tsp of sugar per 600ml bottle. Berry Ice is one of the least “fake” tasting.

Trusty, reliable, orange Gatorade. While the colour might be reminiscent of a high vis vest, the flavour is quite refreshing and not too intense, perfect for those with a sensitive tum.

If you don’t want everyone to know you are desperately hungover, this clear sports drink will signal to colleagues that it’s business as usual while allowing you to drip feed yourself essential minerals throughout the day.

Similar deal to the G-Active water. Flavours are fresh and light, like a watered-down juice, however, a tricky two-step opening seal is seriously tough work for the physically and mentally compromised.

For those who are feeling as weak as a newborn baby, Powerade Blackcurrant taps into the comforting nostalgia of a glass of sweet, tart Ribena. And with the familiarity of a pop-top lid, it won’t be long until you’re suckling away.

While the exact flavour remains unclear, the blue Powerade delivers a deliciously vague combination of tropical fruits and berries. The MVP of the morning-after-the-night-before, the neon colour also serves as a beacon, letting friends and relatives know to be kind to you today.
