Watson's line to Holmes, "You know that what you're drinking is for eye surgery," is an obscure reference to Holmes's cocaine usage. At the time, cocaine was used as a topical anesthetic for eye surgery. In the stories, Holmes injects cocaine. Sherlock Holmes film 2009

There were some very happy Coca-Cola drinkers when they first started selling coke. What a way to keep customers coming back for more.
