LMNT sparkling citrus. Can get on Amazon. You’ll thank me later.
This is the answer, especially if you’re over 40. Recommended by my physician. Many flavors to suit your taste. We buy direct from LMNT, as my lovely bride drinks it daily as prescribed by her physician.
Gatorade, Body Armor, or ice water.
All the "healthy" shit has stevia, monk fruit, erythritol, all that garbage - instant migraine, and it tastes like shit.

While at Camp Perry I used to drink lots of Gatorade, that is until I drank too much and it made me rather unpleasantly ill. Then I drank nothing but water..... until I drank too much and it made me ill. The combo, for me was to water down the Gatorade to about 50-50. That seemed to be what kept me hydrated but didn't have side affects of too much of a good thing.
Water.
The “electrolyte replacement” mix-ins all taste like shit and are unnecessary unless you are doing sustained cardio between stages. Let’s face it, shooting is basically a sedentary activity. During an 8 hour match day, you might be mildly active for 20 minutes.

Liquid Death Cherry sparkling water. 20 Cal per 19.2 oz can.
Natural agave and juice for a touch of flavor. a bit expensive but it gets me to drink water.

I don't drink anything while on the actual range. I may drink coffee in my travel mug on the way there.
Then, leaving, I will stop somewhere and get some ice and switch to unsweetened Gold Peak Tea and add my own fake sweetener.
At work, I sometimes have water with a flavor added to it that also has electrolytes.
Or, I might drink a Gatorade Zero.
When hunting, I have large squeeze bottle that I carry water in and it goes in the cargo pocket of my hunting pants. Even when cold, you can get dehydrated.

Uh, if you’re getting ill by drinking too much water…you gotta chill. No joke. You can die doing that.
What Is Water Intoxication?
Water intoxication can occur if your body has too much water, which dilutes your electrolytes. Learn more about its symptoms and treatment.

I think I prefer William Larue Weller a bit more for my match days.
Simply stay hydrated, most folks can stay with water, try to avoid soda, etc. The Liquid IV, they have a sugar free one and others are ok, if you can get your hands on Cerasport, that's the ticket. Usually one water, one xx drink rotation is a good idea-don't get behind, know your limits folks. If you are really getting hot, one good thing to have in the cooler if you can is a couple gallon or two gallon bags of ice. Drape one over your neck and sit on the other or while sitting, place in your crotch between your thighs to get that body temp down.
Oh-yeah after you donate blood-don't help your family offload their household in south Florida in the summer! Want to talk about your head tingling!

This I know. I no longer put myself in those situations. I'm too old for such silliness. Seriously, much of the symptoms you illustrate are what I experienced. Not conducive to performing at the highest level at a National event. Getting old sucks.Uh, if you’re getting ill by drinking too much water…you gotta chill. No joke. You can die doing that.

Gatorlyte (cherry-lime) and tonic water (50/50) with ice in the thermos (about a liter) then switch to water - 6-8 hours in the Arizona sun can mess you up 
I had a bit of luck a few years ago and ended up with several bottles of Pappy's of various ages. It's good but I prefer Horse Soldier Premium. Its easily available most places and only about $55 per bottle.
A girl took part n some radio show contest to see who cold drink the mmost water. She drank about a gallon and a half and a short while later died. Her family sued the show and won, I believe.Uh, if you’re getting ill by drinking too much water…you gotta chill. No joke. You can die doing that.

I don’t drink alcohol around firearms. Pretty much at all. Ever.
But!
At the range I have Hydrate from WeGoHome. For the hot days
And after shooting
Typically I have tea
If it was to be alcohol
It would be whiskey ( scotch )

Bud Light.
Bitches drink water and electrolytes, men drink beer.

No one here is getting hyponatremia. You'd have to drink a fuck load of distilled or bottled water that's not spring or mineral all day long without eating to do that lol.Uh, if you’re getting ill by drinking too much water…you gotta chill. No joke. You can die doing that.

Ultima Replenisher in your water. Best sugar free product out there. Drink it daily since 2003 when it was sponsor supplied, been spending my own money on it since 07 with no plans on stopping. Great product also for kids, elderly and diabetics.
It has in fact happened to me….. in Central America during a training in the jungle def drank too much water… needed IV for potassium due to nutrients being purged…. Major PVC! Not fun
Well if you were humpin a ruck in the jungle, you were already dehydrated I'm assuming due to the humidity. I'm guessing half of your electrolyes were already gone. Though, the water you drank; it had no minerals in it? And where were you getting all the water from on a jungle training op? That's crazy.
We filtered water….i just didn’t add enough salt and sugar
It was also three weeks in the making. It sucked

I usually get shitfaced and forget to shoot. Just end up cruising around on the gator
Ahhh I see. So a perfect storm. Normally, this does not happen. Joes training, especially in a jungle or arctic warfare or like pro athletes in the summer months are under stresses normal humans are not, sometimes EVER in their lives. This is extraordinarily rare. Most of the time you dehydrate, not accidentally flush the elctrolytes out by overhydrating. And MRE's have a lot of sodium in them as well, which is why I'm so confused.
I normally have some unsweetened tea in the truck I can go take a sip from. That, or water with a little lemon juice and a touch of salt (cheaper than Gatorade).
My wife used to work in a hospital. There are people who get addicted to water. So much that their intake has to be strictly monitored. They have to drain the water from the toilets in their room or they will drink it. I have somewhat the same problem with beer, though I have never been tempted with a toilet full of it.
I thought the answer was supposed to be Spindrift?
I just drink normal water if I do get thirsty.
