The J.S. Pemberton Medicine Co. was formed in Atlanta circa 1885 to sell three principal products: a cough syrup and a hair dye that are both long forgotten, plus Pemberton's French Wine of Cola. In 1886, after Atlanta's Fulton County passed prohibition legislation, Pemberton devised a nonalcoholic version of his Wine of Cola, known today as Coca-Cola.

apparently, cocaine wasn't prohibited, and I think a bit more addictive than any form of wine...but I prefer wine myself!
Miss you!
