True, although I'm guessing "you can't baptize someone in Gatorade' would be something virtually all Christians would think.

If my hasty checking is valid, there's nothing in the Bible about holy water. There's holding a baptism, but nothing about holy men blessing water to imbue it with the Holy Spirit.

As such, I assume that any liquid blessed by a priest might be considered holy.

Something something Godly Gatorade, Blessed Baja Blast etc.

I think it's one of those 'spirit of the law, not letter of the law' things.

Obviously, it's gotta be Powerade Mountain Berry Blast or you just damned that person to hell.
