It doesn't contain all the electrolytes you need and is packed with sugar.

That is exactly what you want in a pre workout drink combined with whey protein. The sugar or any high glycemic carb is supposed to spyke your insulin and act as a transport system for the protein, the sugars are easily burned as energy during the workout so fat gain is not a problem. This is the only time I recomend high GI carbs. Post workout meal can also be higher in GI but complex starchy carbs are preferred over simple carbs.
