Personally, I think the sport-drink stuff is a bit overrated.
Anyway, most people consume more than "8 ounces" of these things as "a serving" (a large Gatorade is 32oz). While cycling, tend people drink more frequently than they eat. Also, there's not much hydration going on with raisins (for example).
