Looking at the info for pedialyte, 12 oz contains 370mg of sodium, and 9g of sugar.

So for 32oz, that 986mg sodium, and 24g sugar, which seems spot on to the articles recommended ratios.

This entire thread is reminding me of my Marine Corps days. Super hung over? Hey doc, we need to practice our IV skills... sweet cold hangover relief. About to do an extra hard day of training? Drink a bottle of pedialite and grab the other camelback you put Gatorade in.

Hydration is no joke.

The zinc is also recommended against diarrhoea: http://www.who.int/elena/titles/bbc/zinc_diarrhoea/en/
