"Dope" isn't confined to the Deep South.

I used to work with a guy who grew up in Birmingham. He told me they called them "dopes" when he was a kid.

In the Florida panhandle, it was always "coke". I have heard soft drink quite a few times and soda also. My wife is from Oklahoma and she always says "pop".
