I saw a study once that letting children have a coke before a test improved their performance. Makes sense.

The relationships between caffeine consumption and study habits were investigated. Participants, 20 male and 59 female college undergraduates of Loyola University New Orleans (N=79), completed surveys regarding their caffeine consumption levels and study habits, which included their anxiety levels. It was hypothesized that the high levels of caffeine consumption will result in unhealthy study habits. The participants supplied us with demographic information such as age, gender, GPA, and class standings. Participants rated their caffeine consumption levels and their study habits. The results indicated that we failed to reject the null hypothesis.
