I can recommend neither Coca Cola nor Pepsi, nor Jolt for caffiene nor 
sugar as they are also diuretics (makes you dehydrated).
If you want quick energy--go for simple sugars (much easier than the 
complex sugars found in sweetened soft drinks).  I will use fruit juice.
If you want caffeine--just take some No-Doz with a glass of water.  I've 
never had trouble staying awake.
