There seems to be a pattern: the former group drinks Gatorade,
the latter group drinks water.

That's why they have halftime at football games.

Did you know Gatorade was actually invented at Florida State,
but they didn't want to call it Seminole Fluid.

And while your at it, get the booties and breathable fabric. When my last
suit wore out, I upgraded to the breathable with booties (and the relief
zipper--not my first of these). It is the best drysuit I have ever had.
Easy on, easy off, and very comfortable. Mine is from NRS, but I imagine
any of the suits with these features would be similar.

I have a horizontal relief zipper on my OS Systems Breathable Dry
Suit.
Michigan winter paddling temperatures are tooo cold to completely
unzip.
Since the winter is often "drier" than the summer, I drink lots of
water.
