What are your favorite late-night-coding-session beverages? List up to three. Mine:
-Dalmore Single Malt Whiskey, 12 years old. good shit.
-Diet Rockstar
-Americano (for all you non-californians, thats a shot of latte with hot water.)

Cola all the way baby!
I'll go for some cheap cola, Coca Cola is very expensive here in Denmark, compared to discount cola from Harboe.
On ecation I might go for earl grey tea.

I don't code - my skills are weak - but I do plenty of late night hackery. I do diet-coke, tea (if I'm in the mood - sometimes nothing else will fill the bill), and coffee/espresso. I roast my own coffee, and generally have a large selection of beans, so I hit the java up pretty often. I live in santa fe, and though I love espresso and have a kickass machine, it loses something at 7000+ feet (popcorn does too if you were at all interested). Still, on occasion it's mandatory. Too much diet-coke gives me a headache for some reason.
Rockstar is the shit, but it's too frigging expensive. I get a can once in a while though.

Pepsi, Tea (Green or Lemon), and sometimes those little Starbucks iced vanilla coffee drinks.

Another non-coder here, unless you count fiddling with css themes on CMS stuff.
Dr. Pepper. I think this soft drink is a southern preference, though I've not really traveled the U.S. like I should have, so take that for what it's worth. I think another southern practice is calling every soft drink a "Coke," which must confuse non southerners.
Common scene here in Oklahoma:
Customer: "I'll have a coke."
Waitress: "What kind?"
Customer: "Dr. Pepper."

I haven't done any late-night coding in a while, unless you want to count making PKGBUILDs, but I also swig down a few drinks while I am gaming late at night. I usually drink Sierra Mist, Sprite, Dr. Pepper, or P(r)epsi; currently, I am downing a Dr. Pepper. There is the occasion that I end up drinking a beer (Bud Light most of the time).

I don't code either unless you count some basic web development. Usually when I'm up late it's because I'm taking a system apart or putting one back together. Usually, it's beer and, frequently, a homebrew I made myself.

Usually for my late nights of computing (not much of a coder), my drink of choice is frappucino or Diet Mountain Dew Code Red.

Whiskey and Coke here, or Mountain Dew is the preference for coding.
I used to live in Ohio where everything is "POP". Coming from NY when I first got to OH I ordered a "SODA" and got a seltser water. Ick. After that, I was pretty specific about which kind of "pop" I wanted to have.

I don't need caffine to stay up all night, my body does that naturally

I think my internal clock has a virus

I just drink whatever I can find in fridge OJ, Milk, Lemonade, etc. I like Vanilla Coke the best as far as soda goes then regular coke and root beer.

Getting that damn C++ code to work...depends on the mood and difficulty of code
Early in the night... Pepsi, Green Tea, or Black Coffee
Late in the night... Bass Ale, or dark beer
Before nighty-night... Jagermeister
Linc, I know what you are saying about ordering a "pop". Here in Michigan everything is "pop" or "coke".
