You've probably heard I didn't know I was pregnant stories that went something like this: A woman claims she took an at-home pregnancy test that came back negative, but, lo and behold, she really was pregnant -- and the pregnancy progressed without her knowledge.
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.
Blood alcohol concentration and effects. Alcohol is fairly quickly absorbed into the bloodstream. Onset of alcohol effects takes about 10 minutes and peak at about 40-60 minutes after consumption. The amount of alcohol in your blood is called your âblood alcohol concentrationâ, or, BAC. Generally, acute effects of alcohol last for as long as you continue drinking.
