A carbonated beverage is a drink that contains dissolved carbon dioxide gas, which creates bubbles and gives it a fizzy texture. Common examples include soda, sparkling water, and champagne. The carbonation process can occur naturally or be added artificially during production. These beverages are often enjoyed for their refreshing qualities and are available in various flavors and types. Many carbonated drinks contain sweeteners, acids, and flavorings, making them popular choices for social gatherings and meals. However, excessive consumption can lead to health concerns, such as increased sugar intake and dental issues.
