Alcohol found in top brand sodas

Alcohol In Soda: Trace Amounts Found In Coca-Cola, Pepsi And Other Top Brands

Trace amounts of alcohol can be found in popular soft drinks including Coca-Cola and Pepsi, according to new findings by the National Institute of Consumption in Paris.

The research, published in the French magazine 60 Million Consumers, found small amounts of alcohol measuring around 0.001 percent per liter in 19 popular sodas around the world. Generic supermarket brands, however, were alcohol-free.

Before folks start dumping the ginger ale, let's consider that 0.001% of a 300 ml can is less than 1/10th of a drop in the whole can.

So you're saying if I drink five thousand cans of Coke I will get the same buzz as if I drink one 5% beer?

Sorry if I do not seem alarmed

Don't worry because the amounts were so small that you would have to drink nearly 13-thousand cans to qualify for a DUI. Alcohol in soda? | KHON2 Hawaii's News Leader
I think there's more important things to worry about.

Hey, give Act10NPak a break! Random trivia about alcohol is entertaining. As long as I'm not drinking it that is.
