    I have a terrible hangover and had a lucozade for the first time in ages. Is it me or has the taste changed.

    They changed the ingredients in Lucozade and red lemonade a while back.

    I am truly devastated.

    I think theyre slowly reducing sugar content in some of them in preparation for an impending sugar tax

    Has Ireland confirmed anything about a sugar tax? I know the UK is bringing in a sugar tax.

    If you were able to walk to the shop and buy a fizzy drink it must be a very mild hangover

    Less sugar is always good - except in 7up. I only really drink it when sick and this week just gone had the flu and it just wasn't the same.

    7up should be been stevia-proofed. Awful decision.

    You don't need to know where, the good stuff can be sourced. Just slip me a few 50s and I'll get it for you

    There's 2 rates, 15c is the lower rate. Lucosade, while containing sugar, will be exempt as it's below the taxable rate.

    Did nobody pay attention to the budget?
