Soda on Keto?

:joy::rofl::joy: You probably couldn’t remember because vodka would make a strong drink even more so.

Nope, vodka lowered the average alcohol content… It’s only 40% or something, the other booze was 80%. And I don’t even think it did something crazy, some booze mixes are worse than the separate ones… I am not particularly experienced at that.

Check the ingredients. Citric acid is usually what’s added for “bite.” Carbonated drinks without citric acid taste noticeably milder.

You could switch from Barq’s to A&W to ween yourself off caffeine.

the ones where the bite was the issue did not have citrus acid, namely la croix

the ones that did i disliked due to other flavor issues.

I’m not concerned about the caffine right now, I found a coffee cream milk that has only 3.4 net carbs per 8fl oz. as well as already weening myself off the caffeine sodas by drinking less a day.

Glad to hear it. Citric acid erodes tooth enamel like nobody’s business.

CO2 dissolves into water as carbonic acid. The ‘bite’ of carbonated water is simply the slightly acidic carbonic acid portion, which varies depending on the degree of carbonation.

I think so too, carbonic acid can add a potent bite as I experienced… I love that.
