Electrolytes are important because they are what certain cells-such as nerve, heart, and muscle- use to sustain voltages across their cell membranes.

They also contain added sugar and flavorings to the drinks to give extra energy and to make the drink taste better. People also drink other drinks after a workout because they feel that it obtains the energy more effectively.
