I you generally follow a good diet, and have no (over)weight/health problems then I guess it would not be that bad.

It depends on the type of drink and what "bad" means. In terms of acids causing deterioration of your teeth, some drinks are fine while others are terrible. A study I read this years indicated that mountain dew and sprite were among the worst, while root beer was basically harmless. Sugar in drinks is said to be bad, but in reality many foods are much worse because they too contain different forms of sugars which break down in your mouth, coat your teeth, and provide food for bacteria which excreet acids that cause decay.

A good friend of mine did nothing else except eliminate his normal routine of 4 Cola's a day, and he tells me he's lost 8 pounds in the last month.
