I was curious what people call a carbonated (with gas) and non-carbonated (gas-free) beverages / drinks in English speaking regions around the world. I need two fixed terms in everyday English which can be acceptable for both American and British while I guess there should be some geographical distinctions.

For instance, what would you call a bottle of water when it contains gas within and when it does not?!

The basic term is carbonated/uncarbonated water or carbonated/uncarbonated drinks. It would be the "technical" term. Not the everyday one.

In the UK, they say fizzy drinks for stuff like Coke and in the US, they say soft drinks.

As for water, sparkling water is used in both for carbonated water.

As Lambie says, drinks are either carbonated or non-carbonated. I believe these are universal terms.

In the US:

Carbonated soft drinks are collectively referred to as soda, and sometimes colloquially as pop. Non-carbonated drinks are referred to by name (fruit punch, lemonade, iced tea, etc.)

Regular water can be either bottled or tap water (meaning from the faucet). Carbonated water can be called soda water, and still may be referred to that way when ordering mixed drinks, (e.g. a scotch and soda). These days, however, bottled carbonated water is usually sparkling water, or colloquially bubbly water. Fizzy water also works.

In some fancier restaurants, if you ask for bottled water you may need to specify whether you want sparkling or flat.

Recently there are some naturally carbonated drinks such as kombucha which would not be grouped in with soda, as that usually refers to sweet carbonated drinks like Coke. Because it doesn't really fit into any category, just call it by name, kombucha.

Side note: Historically "soft" drinks were those without alcohol. At a large social gathering, for example, there may be a "soft" punch for the children and adults who didn't drink, and a "hard" punch for the rest. These days when you say "soft drinks" people mostly think of soda, but, technically, it does include any flavored non-alcoholic beverage.
