: This is true, but in my somewhat limited experience, it's difficult to
then 
: collect enough of and pressurize the resulting gas (which naturally
bubbles 
: out at ambient pressure) for the purpose at hand, namely, its later 
: introduction into the beverage of choice. The other option is, of course, 
: to allow the reaction to occur within the drink itself, per the yeast 
: reaction, but, since we seem to be avoiding that, the safest way to go is 
: with everyone's favorite: baking soda, if the drink is acidic, and B.S.
and 
: vinegar if not. Unfortunately, while the water part is certainly
palatable 
: enough, I've already had my recommended lifetime allowance of sodium 
: acetate, thank you very much.

: Kent (Of course, lye and muriatic acid would work, but you'd still have
all 
: that salt to deal with)
