I've been browsing the shelves in my local deli, spending too much time reading the labels on drinks. Most sodas and iced teas have 27 g of sugar per serving.

There's a new line of flavored white teas from Snapple, which they describe as "naturally light"; that means they only put 15 g of sugar in each serving. Not bad, but it doesn't seem to have that much caffeine. Hard to tell, and I can't find documentation on it either. However, it still seems plenty sweet enough, I don't know what all the rest of the sugar is doing in regular drinks.

Also checking in at 15 g of sugar is Powerade, which also includes various B vitamins for energy, as mentioned by phukraut. I don't know how significant their dosages are, perhaps P could fill us in.
