But placebo or not I still find coca-cola useful as a hangover remedy and/or when I can't keep anything else down.

I think when you keep it for as long as my mother did - essentially from preschool to college -- you should refrigerate it.
I find coke, ginger ale, and italian ices very helpful for nausea, whatever the cause, and italian ices especially helpful for hangovers because they quench the unbearable thirst.
