Carbonation in anything you drink allows it to enter the bloodstream faster. There is no difference with an alcoholic beverage. If you drink alcohol that is either carbonated or mixed with a carbonated beverage, then it will absorb into the bloodstream faster than drinks that are not carbonated. Examples are cocktails such as Jack and Coke, which is whiskey mixed with Coca-Cola.
Biological properties of Alcohol: 1  Alcohol is readily absorbed in the body from the stomach and the intestine with the highest blood level reaching in about 30 minutes after the last drink. 2  Alcohol absorption is decreased by the presence of food in the stomach but again accelerated once it reaches the small intestine.
