The brain is 80% water. Loss of water will affect concentration and memory. Dehydration can cause headaches, tiredness and loss of concentration, affecting alertness. (European Hydration Institute)No other drink is as affective in hydrating the body like water. Gatorade and Powerade both have high levels of added sugar and salt. These should only be added to water for athletes, extreme heat situations or a sick person. | Daily Recommendations Experts vary on just how much water is required for daily hydration. “The Institute of Medicine determined that an adequate intake (AI) for men is roughly 3 liters (about 13 cups) of total beverages a day. The AI for women is 2.2 liters (about 9 cups) of total beverages a day.” However, most agree that eight 8 ounce glasses a day is an appropriate daily intake. ( Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research (MFMER), 2011) Gatorade and Powerade are both sports drinks and they have no daily recommendation. They are designed for “critical fuel during relatively intense (more than 60% of maximal effort) exercise bouts lasting more than 1 hour. “ (Cherif, et al., 2010, p. 299) Both Gatorade and Powerade have no evidence of providing a benefit to those who are not exercising.

...In: Business and Management Snapple BRAND MANAGEMENT Case No. 3 SNAPPLE: REVITALIZING A BRAND INTRODUCTION In the 1990s, Snapple Corporation was one of the leading “New Age” beverage brands when the category was just beginning to take off. With the combination of a unique product, package design, and quirky advertising, the company grew form a regional underground favorite toa nationally recognized brand. Snapple’s rise in the beverage industry was crowned in 1994, when the Quaker Oats Company purchased Snapple for $1.7 billion. Quaker expected to make Snapple a major player in the industry, as it had done with GAatorade. However, the company was unable to capitalize on the brand’s previous success. In 1997, Quaker sold Snapple to Triarc Beverage Group for $300 million. Triarc faced a number of challenges, including reversing the sales slide, revamping the distribution system, and creating new products that will enable growth. Most importantly, Triarc had to find a way to reconnect the brand with its consumers. Triarc successfully resurrected the Snapple brand, and in 2000 sold Snapple to Cadbury Schweppes for $1.45 billion. Cadbury Schweppes then faced the challenge of maintaining Snapple’s brand strength in an increasingly competitive beverage environment. THE EMERGENCE OF SNAPPLE The roots of Snapple Corporation date back to 1972 in Brooklyn, New York when brothers-in-law, Leonard Marsh and Hyman Golden, left their window-washing business and teamed up with...

Wearing black from head to toe, sporting dark glasses, and sweating under the heat of the lights, he was losing his patience. A highly respected music video director, Sanchez was starting to wonder if taking on this advertising gig was such a great idea. “How many times do I have to tell you to point the logo on the can toward the camera during that move?” On stage was Maygan M, a pop singer whose star had risen in the months since she’d agreed to do this ad. She was a sweet-faced, 18-year-old beauty, dressed in a sequined, midriff-baring halter top, a skintight leopard microskirt, and platform shoes that had already tripped her up twice. She sheltered her eyes from the lights and glared at Sanchez. “Like I can even see the stupid logo,” she whined. “Maybe you could...

...Is Brick Gay? Brick is the most instrumental yet distant character in the play. Brick is an alcoholic and most times in the play, he is seen sipping on some “echo spring”. Brick seems to have turned to drinking to dull away the pain that he feels from the death of his friend Skipper. In Act two, Big Daddy confirms that Brick started drinking “when his friend Skipper died”. Brick also drinks so that he does not face reality. Brick himself says that he drinks until he hears “click in his head that makes me peaceful.” This peace is what separates him from the reality that his friend Skipper is dead. The playwright, Tennessee Williams intentionally makes the idea of Brick’s homosexuality ambiguous. In the stage directions in Act Two, Williams says that “some mystery should be left in the revelation of character…” In fact, it is not until towards the end of Act One that the reader starts wondering about Brick’s relationship with Skipper. During her conversation with Brick, Margaret talks about how she should never have told Brick about “that thing with Skipper”. Margaret had a slept with Skipper to get Brick’s attention and prove that he was not gay. When Margaret mentions this, Brick becomes agitated and tells Maggie to “shut up about Skipper”. He gets really angry and tells Maggie that she is fooling with something that “nobody ought to fool with.” Maggie continues to talk about her one-night stand with Skipper.

...Reading the poetry of Ginsberg and the story by Baldwin, obvious references are made to inebriation and addiction, more subtle notations are described in the work by Carver. In the story “Cathedral” by Raymond Carver the narrator drinks too much and seems unable to effectively communicate with his wife. Drinking and smoking marijuana goes on throughout the story telling. The short story “Cathedral” portrays individuals isolated from each other for various reasons. It appears that the maladies suffered by the narrator and wife provide reasons for inebriation and addiction. For example,” So when the time rolled around, my wife went to the depot to pick him up. With nothing to do but wait—sure, I blamed him for that—I was having a drink and watching the TV when I heard the car pull into the drive. I got up from the sofa with my drink and went to the window to have a look”. The narrator begins to drink while waiting for his wife and the blind man to arrive from the train station. In this quote the first indication of drinking start. As the story progresses drinking and marijuana smoking occurs throughout. Drinking occurs after the characters are introduced and engage in brief conversation; the narrator describes the scene “Let me get you a drink. What’s your pleasure? We have a little bit of everything. It’s one of our pastimes”. This shows there is sign that the couple is more than social drinkers because it mentions that drinking is one of their pastimes.

...Incident 18-1 University of Phoenix 6/08/2012 Mel Gibson needs to follow the company polices for the use of alcohol on the property. Almost every company has a no alcohol use policy. Alcohol is a substance that alters a persons motor skills and ability have any control whatsoever. It can be a danger to oneself and co-workers.

Later that day I went into the bathroom and washed my hands. While drying them one of my rings fell in the garbage. I had to dig in the garbage to find it. I found it and 2 empty beer cans at the bottom. Now I had proof that James was drinking on the job. Having proof that James was drinking on the job I had a big decision to make.

Carefully weighing out my options I decided the correct thing to do. Which was get the manager show her the empty beer cans and tell her about Kennor seeing the unopened cans.

...Case 7: Dunkin’ Donuts: Betting Dollars on Donuts Porter’s Five Forces Analysis for Coffee Industry Porter’s five forces provide a great deal of information about the attractiveness of the coffee industry. There are many customers in the market for coffee. According to Schermerhorn, (2007) “400 billion cups of coffee are consumed every year making it the most popular beverage globally.” This is a opportunity that is shown in the coffee industry. Many customers for coffee provide a large base of revenue for the coffee selling firms. There are a few big competitors that Dunkin’ Donuts needs to worry about for the future. Schermerhom (2007) states that” Starbucks [is] rethinking its positioning strategy and McDonald’s [is] offering a great tasting coffee at a reasonable price.” Starbucks is trying to position its coffee as a cheaper product. This will make Starbucks more of a competitor than in the past. Since McDonald’s is trying to sell a better tasting coffee, the company will also be more directly competing with Dunkin’ Donuts. Suppliers are another interesting part of the puzzle. According to the Dunkin’ Donuts website, Dunkin’ Donuts has reformulated its food and beverages according to its DDSMART criteria to meet healthier criteria. This healthier food probably costs more to make causing a threat to the company. Dunkin’ Donuts should advertise how their food meets these new standards to drive more customers to buy their goods. However, there is an opportunity being...
