during and before Id say. Salt and sugar (what you get in those drinks) get absorbed into the blood very quickly.

i usually eat a protein and starch filled dinner before i head off out to the gym like chicken, potatoes and veg. then i only drink lucozade/powerade a 2-4 times times whilst im there during and after (after to restore energy and let ur muscles recover)

I have a lucozade before and one for training. Then just a juice drink for after when waiting for the bus or whatever. Too many too often wouldn't give your body as an effective boost.

Fraidycat is right....all these drinks have high amounts of corn syrup...they are good for electrolyte and glyocogen replacement but that is it......they would be beneficial in small quantity as a post workout drink....
