Irn Bru has tons of caffeine and also contains quinine (the first effective treatment for malaria). If you find Irn Bru bottled here in North America don't buy it as we (Canada and the US) don't allow quinine as an ingredient. But, if you can find a British-made bottle, buy it (you can usually tell the British-made stuff easily because they have the British price imprinted right on the label or can). Actually, buy lots of them so you have them handy in the future.
Seriously, if you have a British store near you go there and get some (you're in Atlanta right? Apparently there is a British store in Norcross but you'll likely be able to find one closer to you). Drink a litre of that and wait about 45 minutes. You'll be right as rain. I do this regularly and it works every time.
