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.
Food slows down alcohol absorption because your blood has a smorgasbord of ions to select from and does not selectively choose alcohol over other fuel. So your blood is nourished by food and alcohol both.This makes your BAC lower because not as much alcohol can enter your bloodstream as quick because the alcohol has to compete with the food to enter your bloodstream. So if you eat enough, it will slow down the alcohol absorption.ood slows down alcohol absorption because your blood has a smorgasbord of ions to select from and does not selectively choose alcohol over other fuel.
