Most soft drinks are slightly acidic, and aluminium is a very reactive metal -- E0 is -1.7 volt. Why, then, does the can not react with the contents?
There are two reasons. Firstly, although aluminium is potentially very reactive, its first reaction is usually to form an impervious layer of aluminium oxide over the whole of its surface, and this ensures its inability to react further. Secondly, just to make sure, most aluminium drink cans are coated on the inside with a thin film of unreactive plastic.

Aluminum.
Will aluminium react with water?
Aluminum will not react with water at normal temperatures. Increase the temperature greatly, and just about any two things will react, though.
Would gallium react with acetic acid?
No it wold not because Gallium is in the same family as Aluminum and therefore has similar properties to Aluminum. Aluminum does not react with acetic acid.
