Answer:

Coca-Cola

Step-by-step explanation:

The original recipe for Coca-Cola was using cocaine until 1904, hence its name.

Of course, cocaine is a brain stimulant. It was first mixed in the recipe to help quit addiction to the morphine of its creator, a pharmacist with chronic pain issues.

Drinks mixed with now-illegal drugs were common around year 1900... there was wine with cocaine, mixes with arsenic and many other drugs.
