I absolutely agree with mattr. If you never use the drops then firstly you are missing out, and secondly your setup is wrong. Probably a shorter / higher stem is the solution.
Sadly most shops set up with a slammed stem; fine for pros who are paid to be in pain and have to be fast at all cost; but far less fun for the rest of us!
Even my tourer has drops, and even when lugging panniers it's nice to be able to get low for bashing into the wind or swooping downhill.
