Why does it burn your throat when you drink soda in the mornings?

Like when you just woke up and drink a soda or a carbonated drink and it burns, but it doesn’t happen in the afternoon or later in the day.

Why does this happen?

The bubbles in soda are formed from carbon dioxide gas that is mixed into the soda to give it that nice fizz. The thing is, that when carbon dioxide is compressed enough to dissolve into water, it forms carbonic acid. It is the carbonic acid that causes that slight burning or tingling sensation. Don’t be worried though, as it is very week and harmful.
