John Stith Pemberton invented Coca-Cola in 1886. The first sales of Coca-Cola were from a drugstore fountain in Atlanta, Georgia, on May 8, 1886. Pemberton, a wounded Civil War veteran, may have concocted the original formula in the process of seeking an elixir that could help him with pain and morphine addiction. He had experimented with various combinations of ingredients including alcohol, coca leaves and kola nuts, prior to settling on the formula that remains largely the same to this day.

because he wanted to invent a drink similar to his old drink called"French Wine Coca". This was used as a headache remedy and stimulant but contained wine. Prohibition came around and he created Coke because his old drink was successful.
