Gas stations, delis, etc usually sell gatorade and water. Either carry the packets for the powder for your favored electrolyte drink and mix with water, buy the bottled gatorade at the shops. I usually do a bit of both; sometimes favoring the sour/ salty taste of the gatorade and sometimes using my heed/perpetuem powder which have a more neutral flavor.
