In Japan (and, for some reason, Australia and Mexico) you can buy a drink called "Pocari Sweat".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pocari_Sweat

It's a soft drink specifically designed to avoid you getting hyponatremia, and was apparently inspired by doctors who would drink the contents of saline IV pouches.

Like many asian soft drinks it's not very sweet but it's not unpleasant. If you live on the US west coast you can find it in most Japanese supermarkets.
