Yes, beverage carbonation can affect your Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) level in that it causes the alcohol to absorb more quickly. So if you're drinking carbonated beverages and enough alcohol let's say to reach a .09 BAC, you're going to reach that .09 faster than if you were drinking noncarbonated beverages.
