Something is wrong with the power circuitry in your laptop. All ESDs should normally conduct through the casing into the power supply and to the ground pin on the power plug into the wall socket.

Your soda may be messing things up somehow and therefore, electricity is finding that the path of least resistance or the shortest distance to the ground is through your body rather than the ground pin on your power plug.

That's why you are getting shocked.
