    i dont see how 'liking or not liking gatorade' translates to 'drug addiction or eating disorder'. they dont really have anything to do with each other. is she mixing her crack with the gatorade?

    did you ever think that maybe, she tried it again after all these years, and found out she actually did like it?

    Maybe she just likes it now. Ever think of that?
    I find the 600ml bottles of coke too large to drink. I only drink about 80% of them then throw them away. Does that make me drug addicted??

    Bulimia causes severe electrolyte imbalances in the body. Gatorade helps replenish those electrolytes, hence the heavy consumption of it by athletes after a hard work out. Electrolyte imbalances are one of the most severe side affects of bulimia and can lead to a variety of heart problems (including cardiac arrhythmia and cardiac arrest, which can eventually lead to death). However, having "Gatorade" bottles around in her room does not suggest this, it only implies that she either likes it a lot or is trying to compensate for some health problems. Don't speculate without conducting further analysis of her habits, if you are worried.
