Coke
Explanation:
Coca-Cola was originally made with cocaine until 1904, hence its name.
Obviously, cocaine is a stimulant for the brain. It was first combined in the recipe to help its creator, a pharmacist with chronic pain issues, stop abusing morphine.
The year 1900 saw a lot of drinks mixed with now-illegal drugs…there there was wine mixed with cocaine, mixes with arsenic, and many other drugs.
Coca Cola is the answer
Coca Cola’s history dates back to the 19th Century, when the chemist John Stith Pemberton formulated the first Coca Cola to be sold in his store.
In those days, Coca Cola was developed and marketed as a ‘Brain Tonic’ to help patients with headaches, refresh them, and improve their moods.
In Stith’s time, it was not intended to be a fizzy drink in the modern sense, but rather a ‘mild medicine’.
However, he was unable to see the true success of the company, and before his death, he sold the rights to Coca Cola to another businessman.
