I know it becomes dry ice and about sublimation. Maybe I should rephrase my question...Does carbon dioxide expand when cooled or something? Or what happens to carbonated drinks when cooled/frozen? does the bubble count ikncrease of something?

Frozen carbon dioxide is called "dry ice' because when it melts it goes straight to the gaseous form and doesn't leave everything wet.

if a carbon dioxide is cooled it becomes a dry ice and it doesn't turns liquid because it sublimes when it is heated

when cooled, any gas will compress. i.e. volume and pressure will decrease. (see ideal gas law)
If cooled to -78C, carbon dioxide will become a solid, this is what is known as "dry ice." Carbon dioxide doesn't have a liquid phase
