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.

No, there's something else, potentially more serious going on:

I got shocked when I touched the end of the wall adapter that plugs into the computer (while it was not plugged into the computer)

There's no way the normal low voltage DC output of a laptop power supply should be causing shocks, so I think there is a bigger problem.
