I think its because when soda gets warm, the molecules in the drink start to get hot and start going everywhere, when its cold they are frozen so the fizz stays...that might not be a very scientific way, but that's it!!!!

Soft drinks are injected with CO2 (carbon Dioxide), which gives that bubbly sensation. Carbon Dioxide is in gas form in room temperature.

When soft drink is heated, the heat would cause the molecules of CO2 to be more active in the liquid, and starts evaporating and escape from the liquid into the air.

Because gas dissolves best under high pressure and low temperature. When those standards aren't met i.e. when soda warms up--the carbonation (CO2) blows off like quickly evaporating liquid
