The short answer is NO, An essential nutrient is a nutrient required for normal body functioning that cannot be synthesized by the body and must be obtained from a dietary source!. Some categories of essential nutrients include vitamins, dietary minerals, essential fatty acids, and essential amino acids!.
Different species have very different essential nutrients!. For example, Vitamin C is essential to humans but not to most other mammals!.
Many essential nutrients are toxic in large doses (see hypervitaminosis or the nutrient pages themselves below)!. Some can be taken in amounts larger than required in a typical diet, with no apparent ill effects!. Linus Pauling said of vitamin B3, (either niacin or niacinamide), "What astonished me was the very low toxicity of a substance that has such very great physiological power!. A little pinch, 5 mg, every day, is enough to keep a person from dying of pellagra, but it is so lacking in toxicity that ten thousand times as much can [sometimes] be taken without harm!." [1] A similar statement can be made about vitamin C and some other vitamins!.

Depends what you mean by 'live' and for how long!.
Sugar doesn't help to keep muscle mass, so within a short period of time, with limited energy supplies from just one source your would notice your muscle tone falling!. With that, you would lose the strength you need to hold yourself up for any length of time, move around, etc!.
Slowly, without supplies of protein, fats, etc your body would start to break down!. You wouldn't live long!. Maybe a month at the most!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

No,
You could survive for a while, but at some point your body is going to NEED protein, vitamins, nutrients and fats, that gatorade can not provide!.
You could not live off of sugar and water, but you could go without food for a bit if you had to!. I wouldn't suggest it, but it could be done!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

As ominiverious animals, humans need protiens for the energy we need to support mental and physical ambulations!. Sugar is essentially poison to us because we don't really need much of it in our bodies to be healthy!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
