Beam Cola is a fictional brand of soft drink in Bully.
Drink information
The drink, when consumed, can boost health up to normal levels. The drink is obtainable from a number of soda machines scattered throughout the town and in most save points. Jimmy can also purchase the drink from all Yum Yum Market outlets, though doing so will remove all of the extra health he still has. He can also obtain it from knocked out students, who will sometimes have a Beam Cola can on them. Sometimes, Beam Cola cans may also be obtained by smashing up crates. When Jimmy drinks it, he emits a belch with multiple burp sound variations.
To buy one can from a soda machine, Jimmy has to spend $1. If he has no money when trying to buy from a soda machine, he will kick the soda machine and, eventually, a can of soda will come out. The chances of getting it are completely unknown.
After purchasing 100 cans, all the soda cans Jimmy buys from soda machines and Yum Yum Market will be free, and if he drinks 500 cans total, he will obtain the Soda Hat and an achievement (Xbox 360 only).

Trivia
- If Jimmy waits for another student to put money in a soda machine and then shoves them away before they actually take the soda, he can get the soda for free.
- Some of Jimmy's lines spoken when he buys a can of Beam Cola from a soda machine allude to the controversy over soft drinks being unhealthy. These include "Liquid sugar is healthy for you, isn't it?", "I can feel my insides rotting already!" and "Taste the chemical burn!".
- Several advertisements for Beam Cola can be seen around Bullworth and surrounding areas, including a big can on the roof of a burger joint in Old Bullworth Vale.
- Beam Cola appears to have a competing brand called Peetza Pop. Peetza Pop isn't available in the game, but advertisements for it can be seen around town. Artifacts in the data files indicate that it was once planned as an in-game item.
