(NOTE: Not all drinks are available in the same sized package, so to be fair I've used the standard "Average Quantity per 100mL" figures on the Nutritional Information Panel of each product for this comparison. Please also note that a number of these drinks also contain other nutritional information that I haven't included here purely for table width constraints. Finally, the RDI figures I use are probably as accurate (see also here) as those used on various products and are for an "average adult" which many people are not, so your personal RDI may well vary from this figure.)
The reason I did this is because I was amazed at the amount of sugar in Gatorade and Staminade (and likely Powerade) which I usually drink one of and then a water. I'd likely be better off drinking a Coke Zero and having a handful of apricots and prunes now that bananas are off the store shelves (or there at CRAZY prices)! :)

But there's no wine?
Yes, I did notice that glaring omission, however I've not seen any wine with a Nutritional Information Panel on the back. I'll look around for some to see if I can find any or anywhere that lists the breakdown.
If you have some of this info, by all means let me know and I'll add it. :)
(There's also no Sambuca on the list, which I feel is also an oversight!)
There's no Cholesterol column either...
How hard is it for people to just drink water, seriously?
That's because there's no cholesterol figures in the NIP and I'd be a little concerned with the contents of any of these drinks if they contained any cholesterol! :)
Try Harvey Fresh Carrot Juice on ice.
I've tasted some delicious things before, but I could drink this stuff continuously all day. Actually I sorta do.

Carrot juice is nice - this looks interesting. It is a pity they don't bother putting a NIP on their website for any of their products. :(
