Back when soft drinks made a name for themselves....

Atlanta, Georgia: August 15, 1903: Coca-Cola is called Coca-Cola for a reason. For the past 18 years since it was created in 1885, this renowned soft drink has contained some 9 milligrams of cocaine per 7 ounce glass and has a fairly large dose of the caffeine rich kola bean in every one of those servings, too. Those ingredients provide a powerful “pick-me-up” for thirsty customers everywhere. Cocaine combined with caffeine laden kola beans! Hence, the name Coca-Cola.

I remember learning about that little item in regards to Coca Cola.
Sigh, it is delicious and that is NOT the cocaine. It's just sugar and flavor. Yum.

And it was invented/marketed as a hangover cure. And it would have been very good at that!
