Carbon dioxide is in fizzy dinks, carbonated. All sodas, beer, sparkling wines, seltzer, etc. Yeast put it there in the fermented drinks. Dissolved it is carbonic acid. As the soda warms the bubbles come out. We burp the bubbles.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) dissolves in water which explains why rain water is slightly acidic as it contains carbonic acid, formed by carbon dioxide dissolving in water drops. Fizzy drinks have had CO2 added under high pressure so the concentration is much higher than in still drinks. The increase in CO2 concentration also explains the increased acidity compared with still drinks made from the same ingredients, except for an increase in CO2 concentration (carbonation).
The colder water becomes the more CO2 will dissolve into it. This is a major concern for global warming, as the oceans gradually warm up they will release dissolved CO2 back into the atmosphere increasing the rate of global warming.
You can drink it because it has dissolved, so a bit like drinking sugar dissolved in water.

Carbon Dioxide isn't poisonous and, in drinks is innocuous. in spite of the incontrovertible fact that, if CO2 is permitted to unfold right into a room, it somewhat is heavier than air and lies close to to the floor. It subsequently replaces oxygen (air) and, in case you will desire to be in mattress, and the point of CO2 is above you, this is going to suffocate you with the aid of blanketing out your oxygen. as a results of fact of this CO2 is utilized in hearth extinguishers. It block the Oxygen (air) from the hearth and the hearth is right now positioned out.

carbon dioxide does not pose a threat when dissolved in ingested water. The gas will be exhaled.

If it is fizzy, it's the the co2 coming out. You can drink it, it only makes you burp to come out again!
And we breath it all the time,too, along with oxygen and all the other gases floating about!

Yesy there is, but when Al Gore finds out about it you will have to buy carbon credits to get a pepsi.

A coke or other gassy drink is carbonated.... i.e. it contains CO2..open a can, gas bubbles out.
When you drink it, you burp...that's the CO2 .. no problem.

Yes. We can drink it because it poses no danger to us (it is dissolved in the air before it gets into our system, hence the bubbles.)

CO2 is used to preserve fizzy drinks.

it depends whether it says "carbonated" on the bottle or can
