This sounds dangerous. I read once that some dignitaries had a dinner with
champagne under pressure (not in diving, but in air under pressure in a
caisson tunnelling under water). The champagne was flat due to the pressure.
When they came up, it fizzed in their guts and gave them severe gut gas
distension, and at least one of them had to be urgently recompressed.
