Water or sports drinks are the best thing you can drink when sick. I've never heard that drinking 7up has any benefits when you're vomiting.


Sports drinks yes. Water no. Plain water can increase nausea on an empty stomach. Sports drinks have glucose that gives you calories and the sugar soothes the stomach. And replaces lost electrolytes. Pedialyte and it's equivalents are better but tast like arse.
