A litre of unsweetened juice is the same price as a bottle of Gaterade (mostly sugar) or a coke (mostly sugar) and only slightly more than a bottle of water. I figure at least I`m getting some vitamins and need something to avoid dehydration anyway.

You are complaining that it is expensive. Other people are saying it is unnecessary.
No one suggested that you drink Gaterade (people drink too much of that too).
Juice, soda, and Gaterade (any "sports" drinks) all have the same problem:
they are all mostly sugar. Nutritionally, they are not significantly different. The calories in all that juice you are drinking come from sugar!
If you really are interested in "vitamins", eat whole fruit and drink water.

I rarely buy water. It's generally a serious waste of money.
