That is a loaded question. If you are asking me if it is beneficial to drink coconut water my answer is a definite yes.

Does it help you if you are late for your taxes? No. Does it help you find a soul mate? No.

The main advantage of drinking coconut water is that makes a superb rehydration drink that is loaded with electrolytes, particularly potassium.
 
Some people like to drink it also for its anti-oxidants content. Most experts acknowledge that one serving will provide as much potassium as a banana. Actually in some developing nations, it has used by medical doctors as a rehydration solution where medical saline solutions are not available.

As long as it is not fruit flavored and/or sugared, I find it a pleasant drink to use during workouts.
