Sports drinks are great for high heat days. They're filled with electrolytes and they hydrate you very quickly. They're also readily available. Just about every gas station, mom and pop shop, and convenience store carries some kind of energy drink.

Milk

Milk builds strong bones, it has a lot of calcium and it's so good for you! Grab a glass and get that mustache. If you're really going for the health card, try fat free milk, it's a lot better for you than whole milk!

I usually drink sodas, not for the taste, but because I love the cold carbonation. So, what I do to replace that is put some club soda in my fruit juices so that I still get the fizzy, without all of that sugar. But I must say, living in the south, iced tea is a MUST. If you're in the south too, yes you'll be drinking sweet tea.. but maybe it's still good for those in other states.
