The carbon dioxide in Coke, and most commercial beers comes from 
carbonation from chalk and sulfuric acid (or similar).  Only a few 
micro-breweries (speaking of the US) use yeast based carbonation.

The former is taking sequestered carbon and adding back into the 
atmosphere, the latter is short cycle sustainable carbon.  This can be 
detected by the yeast residue at the bottom of the bottle.  (I drink it 
first for the B vitamins, others avoid it)

Support your local brewery, or brew your own beer and soda.


Thank You Kindly,
