Reply to comment by fliguana in Would it be possible to 'carbonate' a beverage with a gas much heavier or lighter than air, and then when the consumer drinks it, the gas density changes their voice pich? Such as with the helium trick? by infadibulum
Yes the only way the gas gets into your lungs is if you let the liquid sit in your mouth while you inhale. This is a great way to choke on the liquid, and will barely get any gas into your lungs anyway.

Good point. One can transfer gas into lungs by burp-inhaling (don't recommend).
In that case, methane dissolves in cold water very well, forming hydrate ice. BP's Deep Horizon oil platform felt the power of hydrates seconds before exploding.
