I seem to dehydrate easily; I wind up with a dehydration headache at least once a week. (Another tip I learned: if you have a headache, drink. Many times, that will clear up the headache.) I was talking about all this with my son, who was a Marine for eight years, and he told me that they were instructed to avoid any sugar when dehydration might be a problem. It seems sugar actually draws moisture from your body; although soda may replace some liquid, it is taking more out of you at the same time. I've tested this for myself, and found, to my dismay, that it works. There goes my favourite dehydration cure - no more root beer!
