Lots of sodas and diet sodas have caffeine. (i.e. Coke, Pepsi, Mountain Dew)
Dark tea and green tea have caffeine.
There are also caffeinated drinks like Rock Star or Red Bull.

Right now, Red Bull is very popular, as it tastes more like a bland, lightly carbonated, chilled soda pop than a heavy, hot coffee. It is equivalent, from what I understand, to about 2 - 21/2 cups of coffee.
"Energy" drinks are actually really hot right now as a trend, so you can find a lot of variations...if you don't like the taste of Red Bull you can find many others at your local 7-11/convenience store/garage shop. There are also caffeine supplement pills you can take with your favorite non-caffeinated beverage if none of those float your boat, and I've even seen caffeine chewing gum at my local drugstore (CVS).
Please be careful, though, as there is not a lot of regulation on the amounts and labeling of caffeine and other stimulants in these drinks, so while you may know how you respond to a cup of coffee, you may not be prepared for a super-caffeinated "energy" drink that has the equivalent of 4-5 coffee cups and is not meant to be drunk quickly or all at once. So go slow as you're trying new stuff...we don't want you to have heart palpitations!

TEA, COLA OR CHOCOLATE...
caffeine: n. a bitter alkaloid C8H10N4O2 found especially in coffee, tea, and carbonated beverages and used medicinally as a stimulant.
An eight ounce cup of drip-brewed coffee contains about 85 mg -- about three and a half times more than the same serving of tea or cola or one ounce of chocolate.
Tea has been consumed in China for thousands of years. However, the first documented case of caffeine consumption for its stimulating effects was done in the 15th century by Sufis of Yemen to aid concentration during evening prayer. By the 16th century coffee houses were established in Cairo, Istanbul, and Mecca. Coffee houses expanded into Europe in the 17th century and thus became a worldwide phenomena. Today the strongest caffeinated beverages are available in Japan. The first near pure extraction and isolation of caffeine was done in 1819 by German chemist Friedrich Ferdinand Runge. According to German legend it was instigated by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.

I read in a magazine that eating an apple will give you more energy than a cup of coffee

I don't know if they make it anymore but there was a soft drink called "Jolt" -- "all the sugar and twice the caffeine" was the motto.
