On my last 200km ride, I arrived at Pinjarra hot and exhausted. I downed a litre of choc milk, followed by an unmeasured amount of water. I recovered well with a rest and some time to cool off and I was able to finish the final legs with my energy building the further I rode. I finished with a lot of energy to spare. The upside of choc milk over isotonic drinks or water is it slows the excretion of fluids so even though I had drunk quite a lot of fluid quickly, I didn't have to stop to pee all the time, which can become tiresome on a long ride.
