I know, I know—you’re thirsty. But chugging a can of soda in thirty seconds is like inviting a tornado into your digestive tract. The faster you drink, the more air you swallow along with the bubbles.
Sip. Not gulp. Take small, deliberate sips, and pause between them. You’ll let your stomach release the gas gradually, like a slow leak from a tire—instead of a blowout later.
Pro tip: Use a straw? Don’t. Straws make you suck in extra air, which is basically cheating your own gut. Sorry, but it’s true.
