Tried fresh orange? Water usually does it for me, with icecubes. Or a lemonade. Other than that try a lolly !

Half the stuff you've drunk are diuretics they quench your thirst but don't satisfy it.Try a litre of Volvic bottled water, works for me whenever I need rehydrating.

^Woof's right, diuretics won't help.
Water with some sort of electrolyte solution to aid absorption, sip - do not glug.
Isotonic/hypotonic drinks for example.
To make your own:
Isotonic - 200ml of orange squash (concentrated orange), 1 litre of water and a pinch of salt (1g). Mix all the ingredients together and keep chilled
Hypotonic - 100ml of orange squash (concentrated orange), 1 litre of water and a pinch of salt (1g). Mix all the ingredients together and keep chilled.
***The hypotonic drink will aid absorption more than the Isotonic one, as it contains less Carbohydrate (glucose, i.e. the orange squash).

Go to the chemist and ask for rehydration sachets!!
Mix with water and drink,taste like pis's but do the job.Also good for a hangover!!
If you keep drinking fluids at THAT RATE you will die red37,You will practically drown your brain and reduce the sodium levels in your body,start getting drowsy,slurring your words and fall into a coma and expire for good!
