Carbonated drinks, also known as soft drinks or fizzy drinks, are beverages that contain dissolved carbon dioxide gas. This process creates bubbles and gives the drinks their characteristic fizz. Common examples include cola, lemon-lime soda, and sparkling water. These drinks can be sweetened with sugar or artificial sweeteners and often come in various flavors. The carbonation in these drinks can enhance their taste and provide a refreshing sensation. While many people enjoy carbonated drinks for their flavor and effervescence, it's important to consume them in moderation due to their sugar content and potential health effects.
