Best hangover cure? Don't stop drinking.
Yes, its delicious. Ice cold out of a can, mmm.
Funnily enough so is a hangover - so is paracetamol.

Not really. There are worse things present inside the stomach than coke. And it's no worse for your teeth than any other sugary drink. I'd prefer the effects of Coke on my body than that of Jack Daniels.

I think that too I won't drink it often but once in a while I think gives a good clean out.
Once told on a course that Coca Cola has more of a pH factor than the chemicals we use to clean central heating systems.
are you sure? it also contains phosphoric acid.

"Although they often contain no sugar, diet sodas usually cause about the same amount of dental erosion as regular sodas. Matthew M. Rodgers, DDS; and J. Anthony von Fraunhofer, PhD, FADM, FRSC, researchers at the University of Michigan, compared the eroding effects of regular sodas and diet sodas on teeth and found very little difference. For example, after 14 days of exposure to regular Coca Cola, 2.8 mg/cm² of tooth enamel had dissolved, and diet Coca Cola dissolved a little over 3 mg/cm² of tooth enamel in the same amount of time."
Global merchandising/advertising businesses like http://www.bdainc.com/#global/1 spend vast amounts of money trying to associate unhealthy products with youthful sports to persuade us that unhealthy products are healthy. There's a lot of money to be made selling sugary water.

Like treating somebody with a broken leg, by setting it in a plaster cast and giving them a swig of coke, and the leg got better.
Was it the Coke?

I wouldn't bet on that, as JD says, phosphoric acid.
I do open water swimming, and there is an urban myth that swigging Coke after a swim negates any swallowed bacteria. Urban myth in that its pH is ten or more times less acidic than that of normal stomach acid.
IIRC, there was something on the Beeb a few years ago, where drinking sugary drinks was claimed to be as bad for your liver as drinking alcohol (something to do with fattening it up, I think?)
Personally though, I can't see why anyone would drink Jack D (with or without Coke) at all anyway; that it is undrinkable without having it sloshed with a mixer says it all for me.

Four of the patients needed further surgery, but researchers concluded Coca-Cola had a 91 per cent success rate.
These researchers seem to think so.

I'd be interested in the follow-up on the initial research cited above, and whether it supported or debunked it.

and do you think they were justified?
What is the success rate per thousand with treatment but no coke, and what is the success rate per thousand with treatment plus coke? What is the success rate among patients who had neither and just got better on their own? What is the success rate among patients who had only coke and no treatment?
The figures they quote (no link to the research) does not justify the 91% figure.
The article in that comic was published in 2013.
Do you see evidence that the experiment has been repeated elsewhere with the same results?
Here's a link just for you, about pseudo-science in a comic.

I'm not a medical professional so it's not my place to say.
I presume you must be given your willingness to overlook several (had quite a few results on goodhl come up for the search terms coke cola stomach issues) studied that suggest it can be beneficial.
And here is a picture of Ian before all of the beer:
