Trying to stay up?

Not all drinks are created equal. I am talking about the amount of caffeine in a drink. I know many people that use soda or energy drinks to help them stay awake. These people I am talking about have to stay up because they have left their homework to the last minute and now have to stay up all night to get it done.

If you find yourself having to stay up, you might want to think about what you drink. Some drinks have way more caffeine in them to help you stay up.

According to abcnews.com and wilstar.com some drinks have the following:
RedBull – 80.0mg (8.2 oz can)
Jolt – 71.2mg (12-ounce can)
Coca Cola Classic -- 34.5mg (12-ounce can)
Diet Pepsi -- 36mg (12-ounce can)
Pepsi -- 37.5mg (12-ounce can)
Diet Coke -- 46.5mg (12-ounce can)
Mountain Dew -- 54mg (12-ounce can)
Diet Pepsi Max -- 69mg (12-ounce can)
Instant Coffee -- 40-105mg (150ml cup)
Filtered Coffee -- 110-150mg (150ml cup)
Tea -- 20-100mg (150ml cup)
Starbucks Coffee, Grande -- 500mg (16-ounce cup)
Chocolate Cake -- 20-30mg (one slice)
Caffeine Pill -- 50-200mg (read label to determine exact dose)
Looking at those numbers I would personally go with Diet Coke or Mountain Dew to keep around for everyday use. I would keep soda around over energy drinks because soda is relatively cheap where an energy drink is about $2.00. I can walk over to the gas station by my house and get a 42oz soda for $0.69. If you want something powerful, I would suggest the original source of caffeine, coffee. I just don’t like coffee, so that is not an option for me.

In the end I recommend that you just get your stuff done in advance, so you do not have to rely on substances to help you do them. Also this way you will have way less stress.
