Of course, if you don't like beer, disregard both suggestions.
The nice thing about Eastern Europe is that beer is cheaper then Coke everywhere. When I was in Bulgaria earlier this year I was buying 2.5 litre bottles of beer (no joke, never seen anything so great in my life!) for less then I could buy a 600mL Coke! Hell, even in western Europe beer is cheaper then coke (as long as you buy it in the grocery store, they do rape you in pubs/bars/clubs of course).

Edit: I should also note that half the reason for this (beer cheaper then coke) is, of course, due to the crazy low prices on beer. But the second half of that reason is that Coke is a lot more expensive over there (comparatively speaking) then it is here.
