Are sports drinks acidic? ( eg. 1oo plus )

Sports drinks are becoming more and more popular as we are all being encouraged to adopt a healthier lifestyle with regular exercise. However, many of these sport drinks products are based on acidic fruits and are therefore acidic.Sports drinks commonly contain citric acid. All acids have this erosive potential but the way that one drinks the sports drink may influence whether or not those acids will affect the teeth. Sports drinks should be consumed as quickly as possible, preferably with a straw and not be held or swished around the mouth. Retaining the acid in the mouth will only increase the risk of erosion.
OMG, i drink 1oo plus after training. D:
