So do you? Also if you do does anyone know why? Would like opinions, stories, and really want some scientific reasons.

Actually, it's ginger ale that you're supposed to drink.

Ginger is a proven stomach-calmer.

I would imagine all the sugar and carbonation in the sprite would just upset your stomach more.

prob. it has carbonation which is like an antiacid which will help calm your stomach. seltzer would do it too, but most people perfer soda.

Apparently it stems from the old days when people used to drink ginger ale because ginger helped upset stomachs, but because the ginger ale today isn't like the ginger ale back then, it doesn't have the same effect.
