Yes! I had a cousin once who when he was little drank alot of water for several days and he started having seizures and the dr said it was an electrolyte imbalance, the water flushed too much out and he wasn't eating to replace it. He was like 3? So that is important. I just drink fruit juice, but that's just me, I don't drink anything w artificial coloring or sweeteners in it on a regular basis. There are some vitamin water drinks and such that I think are natural.
