I would presume so. . . over time however. That is the difference between diving and drinking heroin beer though. In diving the body is pressurized. In the heroin beer (presuming some sort of gas is pressurized into it) the body is not under the same pressure and once that beer leaves the keg/line it is under standard ambient pressure. That being said there would still be some "dissolved" gases (there always are) but I highly doubt that would cause any extra effect. Don't misunderstand me however, I'm a chemist not a diver. I'm 100% confident on the oxidation of nitrogen BS but this stuff I'm a little more unsure of.
