I tend to buy these as a quick source of energy eg long drive and feeling tired, or because I like the taste. Otherwise I don't bother. Anyway, they're going to be taxed: http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/budget2012/tiin-4825.pdf |

Nobody likes tax, but it does rather sound like a loop hole. I don't see why they should be exempt when other drinks aren't. |

Never really bothered with them. They're just another sugary soft drink, just at twice the price of the ordinary sugary soft drink because the label has a sprinter on it. |

I don't really buy sports drinks. I sometimes uses them if I'm driving, but that's only because I can't stand Red Bull and they don't sell Irn-Bru 32 anymore. I know they're not caffine drinks, but it's better than a coke. |

Lucozade Orange I drink once in a blue moon, but they're ridiculously priced as it is. |

Don't drink them, so won't affect me. But hey, I'm sure they'll get me some other way

Don't bother if I were you. They're full of rubbish. |

I buy them because of the sports cap, makes it harder to spill in the car (the bottles mean they're not an open container) |

You can get water in those bottles. I'm tight, so I reuse the same bottle with chilled tap water. Sometimes with a splash of lemon, or even Ribena if I'm feeling really decadent. |

I drink them if I have an upset stomach as they provide sugar and some hydration but they are closer to a soda or confectionery item so definitely should be taxed at the same rates. |

Of course you don't eat chocolate, which is basically a sports/energy drink in solid form (sugar). |
