The best (used loosely) beverage equivalents for staying-awake purposes (at least, here in the U.S.) would be Mountain Dew, and Jolt. Jolt advertises itself as having "all the sugar and twice the caffeine" of regular colas. I know it kept me awake a time or two (or three...<g>) when I was in college. Dunno about using it for a hangover cure, though. I've been known to use a good, cold Coke Classic or two to help whomp a migraine, though.... --Sue
