      Yes you can, because they contain a lot of sugar and many contain caffeine. You are particularly at risk of diabetes if you have too much sugar in your diet.

      In the short term it would be really hard to drink enough to be fatal but you’d probably feel really ill if you tried to drink too much. So much gas and sugar and possibly caffeine!

      In the longer term drinking too much can damage your health if you drink lots and lots. You’re teeth could rot, your stomach would be upset and you’d be consuming too much sugar and probably get really fat.

      EXCESS OF EVERYTHING IS BAD!!! Cola is acidic as it contains Fizz, too much of acidity will impact ur digestive system badly proning u towards ulcers etc |If acidity persists u wont b able to digest anything n keep vomiting which cant b controlled by medicines as well! and the sugars r again bad for the health! so everything shud b in limits!!!
