You breathe nonstop to try to rid your body of CO2 and then you ingest CO2 in carbonated beverages - stupid. Carbolic acid. Acid/Base balance is a big part of emergency medicine.

Carbonic acid. Carbolic acid would be phenol, which would make you get serious chemical burns where you least want them Anyway, most of the CO2 comes out of solution whilst drinking or just after and gets burped out.
