National Carbonated Beverage With Caffeine Day is a holiday that encourages people to try out their favorite caffeinated and carbonated beverage. For many people, that might mean grabbing their favorite soda pop, but for other people it means grabbing one of the many carbonated sparkling waters and seltzers that have caffeine in them. There are even alcoholic beverages that combine carbonation and caffeine into their mixture. Regardless of how you observe this holiday, just be sure to do so responsibly because too much caffeine or too much sugar from sodas can be bad for your health. Remember, everything should be in moderation. This holiday is observed on November 19th.

Facts About Caffeine And Carbonation

Since we’re busy with National Carbonated Beverage With Caffeine Day and enjoying our favorite beverages, we thought that we’d share some of the facts that we’ve learned about both caffeine and carbonation. Let’s take a quick peek at them before we talk about celebrating this holiday.

• It takes approximately 30-minutes to 60-minutes after consumption for caffeine to reach its peak levels in the blood.
• Approximately 96% of beverage caffeine in the United States is from coffee, tea, and soft drinks.
• Once caffeine hits a person’s stomach, it takes 15-20 minutes for the brain to feel its effects.
• Carbonation is the result of dissolving carbon dioxide in a liquid.
• The temperature of the beverage will determine the intensity of the carbonated beverage’s bubbles. The colder the beverage, the fizzier the drink (as long as it doesn’t freeze).
