Been drinking it in the UK for most of my 37 years !!!
Used to be a plain old pick me up for years (if you ever had to go into hospital or indeed went visiting, you were either given or giving a bottle).
Nowadays it is used by sportsmen etc for exactly what you have described.
Regards
Lee (one of the original Lucozade kids)
PS. This was one of my mothers cravings when she was pregnant with me - however she could only drink it whilst eating rhubarb flavoured rock - WEIRD !!

Speaking of sugar...
I just returned from Trinidad (on a mission trip to build a church in Toco). While working in the 95 degree sun all day we often walked up to the corner store and bought water and cokes (the coca cola was much sweeter there than in the US, but also less carbonated). What we also found was a product called Lucozade (http://www.lucozade.com/). This was a sport drink essentially made of glucose syrup. From their website - "When you drink it, the glucose gets rapidly absorbed into your bloodstream and gives you a quick burst of energy. Glucose is the natural preferred fuel for the body becuase of the speed with which it can be digested and absorbed. Once absorbed it is a readily available source of fuel, whic all cells of the body can utilise."
Official drink of on-call DBAs.
