Why does a carbonated beverage go flat after it has been frozen?

I randomly decided to search for the answer to this question so I dont know for sure, but my guess is that the crystal lattice formed by the water molecules in the beverage forces carbon dioxide molecules into the space above the liquid and then when opened the CO2 escapes. Im thinking the crystal lattice allows absolutely no extra room for molecules other than what participate in shaping it so the CO2 molecules have nowhere to go.

∙ 13y agoCarbonation of beer is a direct result of the temperature of the beer and the pressure of CO2 it is held under above normal atmospheric pressure of 1 atmosphere (a bastardisation of Boyles law if you want the theory). In the case of a glass of beer, no matter how cold it is kept, it is open to the atmosphere which is no differential pressure and very little CO2. The CO2 in the beer therefore wants to equalise with the atmosphere and hence escapes making the beer flat.
Solution? drink the beer.

Is flat soda still carbonated?
No it isn't. There has to be CO2 gas in the beverage to be carbonated
Can carbonate soda become flat?
Yes if a carbonated soda is left out for a long time while it is open the fizz will dissolve into the air thus making the beverage flat. :)
Why must carbonated beverages be stored in tightly sealed containers?
Tight seal for carbonated beverages keeps the pressure inside the container up so that the carbon dioxide gas stays in solution in the beverage.....if it were not under pressure, it would come out of solution and the beverage would be flat.
When a carbonated drink goes flat is it no longer a solution?
Carbonated beverages can be re-carbonated after going flat. Special equipment such as pumps and dispensers can be used to pump CO2 back into the bottle.
Is flat soda an element or compound?
Soda, flat or carbonated, is a set of compounds in solution.
Do ice cubes float longer in flat pop or carbonated pop?
Yes.

How increase the solutibility of a gas?
One way to increase the solubility of a gas is to decrease the temperature of the liquid. The solubility of a gas in a liquid is usually temperature dependent, although it depends on the particular combination of which gas and which liquid. Usually the solubility of a gas goes down with increasing temperature (think of warm carbonated beverages going flat). The other way to increase the solubility is to increase the pressure of the gas. The higher the pressure of the gas above the liquid, the more will dissolve. Again, think of a carbonated beverage: when it is sealed it doesn't go flat because it is under pressure, but when open to air, it will go flat.
When soda gets flat does it change to a base?
No ... just loses it's "fizz" in the carbonated water.
Can you drink pop after it's been frozen?
It tastes slightly off but is still drinkable. It's a little flat but still got plenty of fizz.

When cooking a frozen pizza in a gas oven why does it sometimes curl up and not stay flat?
It was not re-frozen at some point.
