Regardless of how you observe this holiday, just be sure to do so responsibly because too much caffeine or sugar from sodas can be harmful to your health. Remember, everything should be in moderation. This holiday is observed on November 19th.

Facts About Caffeine And Carbonation

Since we’re celebrating National Carbonated Beverage With Caffeine Day and enjoying our favorite drinks, we thought we’d share some 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 to 60 minutes after consumption for caffeine to reach its peak levels in the blood.
• Approximately 96% of beverage caffeine in the United States comes from coffee, tea, and soft drinks.
• Once caffeine reaches a person’s stomach, it takes 15 to 20 minutes for the brain to feel its effects.
• Carbonation results from 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 will be (as long as it doesn’t freeze).
