Re: [h-cost] Re: Crisps?
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...) 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 - Original Message - From: "Jean Waddie" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Historical Costume" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, February 01, 2006 3:46 PM Subject: Re: [h-cost] Re: Crisps? > It has at least as much caffeine as Coca Cola, and more sugar.

It has at least as much caffeine as Coca Cola, and more sugar. I have known all-night programming/gaming types go back to the US and be unable to keep awake on Coke, having got used to Irn Bru!
