Soda for a parched tongue

I´ve been stomach sick since last night. Slight fever and horrible stomach pain, which I´m thinking might be from eating too much yesterday. The only thing I´ve had all day is a couple peices of lettuce and a couple sips of water. I´m really thirsty but not in the mood to drink anything except soda. Coca Cola to be exact. I think its just to get some of that bubbly, tingly goodness you get when the soda first hits your tongue. Oh my gosh.
