The majority of the world likes even loves coke and all coca cola amitil products (fanta, lift, powerade etc.)
But what I'm going to tell you is "why" vanilla coke, cherry coke, diet coke, diet vanilla coke and just plain coke keep you awake.
Everyone only goes to the shallow part of the answer. They say that its because it has caffiene in it. Yes that's true, but its only a part of the answer.
When you are sleepy or even if your not, and you drink coke, the caffiene in it goes through your body and poisons your body. Caffiene is a poison.
The reason why you stay awake is because you have to while your body fights off the poison or you will die! Thats the reason why the kid that ate 7 viking bars died a couple of years ago.
He ate so much guirana and caffiene that his body could not fight all the poison and he died.
Viking bars got taken off the market as soon as that happened but then the creators (nestle i think) took it to court and they brought it back to the market. A few days after it was put back on the market a young adult ate 5 of them and was put into hospital and almost died but was very very lucky to survive. Back to coke though...
I love coke and I'm still going to drink it. But what I'm trying to tell you is that caffiene is deadly. Don't drink too much coke at one time (eg. 5 litres in 20 minutes) thats if your bladder can handle that.
One more thing... your probably wondering why you aren't dead since you drank coke and you fell asleep. Well if you drank an average amount of coke about an 1 1/2 hours before you went to sleep its because your bosy had fought it off. If you drunk more than average you will find that you couldnt get to sleep but you were just lying in bed until your body fought it off and settled down. If you drank coke and fell asleep straight away, It's because the caffiene hasnt reached your stomach and liver yet. Caffiene travels fast to your liver and stomache, but if your a quick sleeper, then you will be asleep, but fight the poison off by having dreams. The reason for this is because having dreams keeps your mind awake and therefore makes your body work.
If you take sleeping tablets straight after or during coke, then despite the possibility of death by all the drugs you put into yourself, it is dangerous and if your lucky you will have a nightmare and fight it off then, or wake up during the night fight it off then. or if you survive, wake up the next morning and fight it off. There is of course the possibility of death though.
If your a coke fanatic, i dont blame ya, but its best to keep your intake limited, and it maybe safer to drink it in the morning/afternoon or when you plan to have a late night. Thank you for reading, thuis info. is 100% true.
hmmm, But I thought sleep was a better way of Fighting of Poison and Diseases because your in a low state of activity. I don't agree with you (In a healthy way of course).
Do you people really think I'd make all this stuff up and waste my time writing this? Jeremiah u rn't the one that has the info next to you.
In reply to all those that said "sleep is a better time to cure diseases" the answer is yes, but not with energy boosters since its the drug that keeps you awake... well thats what it says in this book.
The book (if people want to see for themselves) is called Good & Bad Drugs - what they do to your body written by Mark Thawnton pg. 238 - 241 "caffiene products"
Oh, right buddy. I forgot you had all the answers. Everything you read in a book is true and everything you hear on the internet is true too. Obviously...
How long do you think people have been drinking soda? Hmm... a hundred years? Yea, thats sounds about right. You think that you're going to die if you drink caffeine and go to sleep? I really doubt it. Dreams? Buddy, your body can work without you dreaming. Besides, the point you probably dream every single night regardless of what you drink. Does your body have to deal with it? Of course, it has to digest your food also. If you didn't digest your food you would die. Chill out man.
Hey - you chill out man! i'm not trying to make anyone believe anything different. I'm just giving info. You believe what you want, everyone has their oppinion. If you think your better than Mark Thawnton then u do that! sheesh! i think u have had too much to drink, either that or u have ADD. Just look at your pic. U look stoned!
Caffiene is weak man. Hear me WEAK!
It's effects are nothing compared to those of other over the counter drugs, like nicotene found in cigarettes, and wonderful alcohol found in everything I tend to drink.
Plus, cola does not have as much caffiene in it as coffee, which again, it's effects are weak.
I think you over reacting to something that we hardly need to care about. Your probably more likely do your body harm by the large amounts of sugar in these beverages than that the wimpy amount of caffiene they put in it.

I just want to make sure everyone here takes all their medical advice from internet postings by 14 year olds. If you don't believe him, think about this: I went to sleep last night immediately after not drinking caffeine, and that's the only reason I'm alive today.
Show me the power child,
I'd like to say,
That I'm down on my knees today,
Gives me the butterflies,
Gives me away,
'Til I'm up on my feet again,
I'm feeling outshined.
Um...the caffeine in coke is far too diluted to actually kill you (and it would be on the verge of impossibility to drink enough in a small amount of time to do much damage)
