Acidic. Definitely acidic. Soft drinks have carbonic acid dissolved in them most of the time. If you drank something basic, your stomach acid would be partially neutralized, and therefore less effective for a period of time. Also, bases dissolve fats, or lipids, the best, and your body cell membranes are made of lipids. Something that can tear your cells open like a wet paper bag would not be a safe thing to drink.
