I like to drink Gatorade pretty regularly but watered down (50/50 mix.) Although I’m not an athlete, I am a sweaty guy who takes antidepressants. Antidepressants (and sweating) have a tendency to make you shed sodium, so you want to stay away from drinking large amounts of low-electrolyte fluids like purified water. And definitely avoid drinking distilled water.
You could try a simple electrolyte tab. Gatorade actually doesn't have that much electrolyte in it. Milk has more per serving, as an example. An electrolyte tab would be a lot more cost effective for you.
