When you freeze Gatorade all the electrolyes go to the top. As you drink all the electrolyes at the top, it is too much for your body to handle. There is only one case I know of where a man died from it, but he had a heart condition on top of that. Basically, I wouldn't risk it.

Freezing Gatorade can cause the liquid to expand and potentially rupture the bottle, making a mess. Additionally, freezing can alter the texture and taste of the drink, affecting its quality.
It is "bad" to freeze water and drink it only if you neglect to let the frozen water thaw first.
Gatorade really has little electrolytes aside of sodium. If all the so-called electrolytes were to rise to the top, we're talking about 440mg of sodium which is only 19% of the RDA. The potassium in a full bottle is only 120 mg which is 2% of the RDA.
When Gatorade freezes, the water molecules within the liquid form ice crystals. The freezing point of Gatorade is lowered due to the presence of electrolytes and sugars, which disrupt the water molecules' ability to form a solid structure at typical freezing temperatures, causing it to freeze at a lower temperature than plain water.
Yes, a bad freeze plug can potentially allow coolant to leak into the engine and mix with the oil, causing water contamination in the oil. It is important to address freeze plug issues promptly to prevent further damage to the engine.
The freezing point of Gatorade is typically around -2 to -4 degrees Celsius, depending on the specific formulation and ingredients.
It depends on the situation. Gatorade is beneficial for athletes engaging in intense physical activity to replenish electrolytes lost through sweat. Water is generally more suitable for everyday hydration as it is calorie-free and does not contain added sugars or artificial ingredients.
Gatorade can potentially impact triglyceride levels if consumed in large quantities due to its sugar content. High sugar intake can lead to increased triglyceride levels in the blood. It's important to consume Gatorade in moderation and consider the impact on overall sugar intake and dietary habits.
