Health-wise it might be better to spread the drinking of soda throughout the day instead of drinking a large amount in one sitting, but this is very bad for your teeth. Continuously exposing your teeth to acidic beverages throughout the day makes the enamel soft with no room to heal. A way to limit the damage if you really want to drink sour beverages can be to rinse your mouth with water after drinking or eating things with a low pH, to decrease the acidic levels in your mouth.

If you have a hard time cutting down on acidic beverages, a straw might help some. Your teeth will still be exposed to the sour beverage, but not as much as sifting it through your teeth when drinking. Avoid straining your teeth by eating ice cubes, brushing or other hash things after drinking or eating things with a low pH, as your teeth are especially vulnerable 30 minutes after ingesting sour foods or drinks.

3 tips for brushing to avoid acid damage
Don’t brush your teeth directly after drinking acidic beverages or food. The acid has made the enamel soft, and more prone to damage when brushing.
Use a soft toothbrush and toothpaste with a milder abrasive, like sensitive toothpaste or a toothpaste specially made for enamel protection.
Remember to use fluoride every day, either in toothpaste or mouthwash.
