Because it's a part of normal physiology, there are numerous systems which will exert their influence to normalize concentrations. Some bodybuilders consume 10 or 12 grams at a time, and I'd expect there to be a longer-lasting effect, but the concentrations in those sports drinks are a tiny fraction of those doses.
