It's dangerous to boil Powerade or Gatorade? Not a chemist here, can someone enlighten me on the danger?

Michelle and Mathilda, I've been doing this for pretty long, and so far I've had no problems. If you're worried, just watch the powerade boil or something hahaha

No what you said was "it contains something that can't be boiled?" So I am assuming that you knew what it was. And to asbra, you can't boil gas you boil liquids. Unless I'm completely wrong can you please tell me what gas you can boil?
