Best Answer

All fizzy drinks contain carbon dioxide dissolved in water (some of it forming carbonic acid). When in this dissolved state the CO2 doesn't take up much space. Shaking the bottle will release the CO2 gas .and one it is no longer dissolved it will tend to take up more space.

Why does a plastic bottle crush when you drink out of it?

Basically, its from the suction from the person drinking it. actually its form the external air pressure crushing it as you remove air from the inside, if you leave a small gap as you smoke this will not happen. it is important to remember you are only removing the equalising air form the bottle, it is the inequality that makes vacuumed bottles crush and shaken soda bottles expand as they have higher air prssure than the outside, check you physics mate
