Liquid I.V. earns strong reviews for fast, noticeable hydration—especially after workouts, travel, heat, and hangovers—while convenient single-serve packets and broad flavor variety (Lemon Lime, Strawberry, Passion Fruit, Watermelon, Golden Cherry) stand out. However, many reviews flag overly sweet, sometimes salty flavors, a “thick” mouthfeel, undissolved grit, and high sugar/sodium; some prefer diluting with more water or the newer sugar‑free line, and a few question ingredient “cleanliness” or effectiveness versus competitors.

I don’t drink enough water so whenever I’m feeling like I need some extra hydration this is my go-to. Also makes an incredible hangover cure.

I use this almost everyday. It helps with symptoms of dysautonomia. Love the flavors, especially strawberry 🍓

it could use everything

I really like some of the flavors (green tea, orange) but some can be overly strong/sweet and need different amounts of water to dillute them!

I think the flavor is great overall and really did what the brand claimed of giving better hydration. I bought them as a "hangover" cure.
Feedback
Price is still a little high for the product and "off-brand" products.

I decided to pick up some Liquid IV when i was sick, as i needed the electrolytes. The flavor (Acai) was good, but the first thing that struck me was that it was VERY sweet. Like almost overwhelmingly so. However, it seemed to do the trick as far as its purpose, but the actual acai flavor wasnt bad, its just a bit too sweet I think. Would be curious is this is the same across all flavors or maybe I just grabbed the outlier. I will say that its very easy to throw in a bag, so portability when doing sports and exercise is good in that regard.
Feedback
Tone down the sweetness.

Convenient packaging for on the go. Flavors are okay, nothing too out of this world, but better than most electrolyte drinks out there.
Feedback
Different flavors, like outside the box flavors; pear, cherry, etc.

I have used Liquid IV in the past for hangovers or to just feel more hydrated in the summer heat. This is the product that kind of got me looking into other hydration brands. I'm now using products with less carbs.
Feedback
Look into lowering the carbs per serving.

I normally don't like flavored water as I drink plenty of water on my own however I received complementary samples of these to try and my mind was changed. These are actually really good not only in taste but actual product too. I think these would be good for people whom need to get electrolytes in quick while getting hydrated. Awesome and smart product.
Feedback
If I remember correctly the packages were not made from paper but plastic. So that's is what I'd charge, other than that I think this is a great product and company.

This stuff works - that’s the main headline. I didn’t love the flavors, but I also don’t dig the flavors of most sports/replenishment drinks, so take that with a grain of sand. I definitely had to add more water than recommended in order to have it mix well enough to not be grainy, and then it seemed like it was watered down. I will continue to buy and use Liquid IV because of how well it works preventing hangovers.

I’m almost 30 now, and I’ve used Pedialyte or Gatorade since college to recover from hangovers. Gatorade never quite did the trick, and Pedialyte had to be ice cold and tasted so syrupy that it felt risky to drink with a rolling stomach. Liquid IV is now my go to. It’s sweet but isn’t too sugary and doesn’t leave a syrupy feeling in your mouth. I drink it before going out and have a water bottle of Liquid IV ready to go in the fridge for when I get home. It’s not magic, but it’s better than any other option I’ve tried.
Feedback
The packets are very big and kind of bulky in the pantry. It feels like there’s a lot of wasted space. I’d love for the packaging to be smaller so I can bring more out in my purse for my friends.

I love the concept of liquid IV and many of the flavors but I’m not sure that it is actually as hydrating as it claims to be. Given the amount of sugar and carbs in liquid IV it’s definitely not something I would consume daily — would see myself using it as more of a pick me up/supplement when needed.
Feedback
Less sugar/carbs/calories

I’ve taken these before and after a night of drinking and they drastically reduce hangovers and help with dehydration. Never go to Vegas without a few of these. The flavors are pretty good also

I use Liquid IV for concerts, music festivals, and even on a night out on town. One thing to keep in mind is that it has a lot of sugar. Always supplement with a lot of water. I usually dilute my mix with more water.

I don’t drink alcohol so I can’t say anything about this products hangover healing power, but I didn’t notice it do anything extraordinary in the hydration department. I do prefer this over Gatorade though for the times my stomach is feeling uneasy.
Feedback
I don’t think the packaging is very sustainable and I did not enjoy the flavor as much as I thought I would.

Liquid IV is incredible. The first time I used the product I had severe strep and could barely drink anything and was getting very dehydrated. I added the powder to my water and started to slowly feel better. I predominately use it now to try and combat hangovers and it's the best. If I know I'm going to be drinking heavily, like for a bachelorette weekend or a birthday, I'll drink one or two waters with Liquid IV during the day and then one or two the next day. I feel pretty close to human.
Feedback
Make the packages easier to open. There have been a few times I've tried to open the top without scissors and I've exploded powder EVERYWHERE.

I've tried a quite a bit of the different varietals(Passion Fruit, Lemon Lime, Acai Berry, Watermelon and Strawberry) and they were all pretty good. My favorite might be the Acai one. As far as eliminating my hangover - It didn't do much for that.
Feedback
It's pretty damn pricey in comparison to other brands.
