Do the bubbles in champagne get you drunk faster?(science illustrated jan/feb 2009)


Champagne has been proven that people get drunk faster then non-carbonated wines with similar Alcoholic content. This was proven by Physicians at the University of Surry in England who did in experiment with 12 people who were told to drink and results were that the ones who drank carbonated champagne blood-alcohol rose a lot faster then those who drank the flat champagne. Why this is is still unknown but the guess is that the carbonation makes the stomach empty into the small intestine quicker, which would speed up intoxication.
