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.
What is Carbonation? In simple terms, carbonation is the carbon dioxide gas in a liquid. To keep the carbon dioxide gas in the liquid, there needs to be pressure. With beer, this pressure is a sealed bottle cap or tab. When the pressure is released, the carbon dioxide rises to escape in the form of bubbles or carbonation.
