Although most people think that burping is a rude hobby adopted by rude people, it's actually a natural reaction that all of us do ~ yes, even you! When we eat or drink, we also take air into our stomachs. Our stomachs already have air in them from the bacteria that produces gas caused by digestive enzymes. When there is too much air to fit into our stomachs, we have no choice but to let it out ~ resulting in a burp.
Carbonated drinks such as beer, soft drinks or champagne makes the recipient expel the carbon dioxide from the drink. The sound a burp makes comes from the vibration of the cardia within the stomach as the gas passes through it. In Western countries, burping is considered rude and impolite and it is believed that a person should cover their mouth with their hand by way of excusing themselves. However, in some countries like Bengal burping is considered to be a compliment to the person who cooked their food or provided their drink.
