According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, alcohol begins entering your bloodstream within minutes of your first sip. This process is accelerated or slowed down by a combination of factors, which determines what drinks get you drunk quickest and how intensely you feel the effects.

Studies have consistently shown that drinking alcohol with carbonated beverages can speed up the rate of alcohol absorption into the bloodstream. This quicker absorption is a direct consequence of the carbon dioxide in fizzy drinks, and it impacts how quickly you feel the effects of alcohol.
