And yet any time i ever have a bad hangover, my body cries out for Lucozade.

That's to be expected. Lucozade and similar products are packed with electrolytes. It's basically water, salts, flavouring, and a ton of sugar.

Pretty sure there's caffeine in there too. It's like orange sugar soda.

For the record regular Lucozade is straight glucose with no caffeine.

So yes it is sugar, but 'sugar' as in sucrose, which is glucose and fructose.
