According to Jain, Nihill, Sobkowski, and Agustin, in Commercial soft drinks: pH and in vitro dissolution of enamel (General Dentistry, March/April 2007 , Volume 55 , Issue 2 - http://www.agd.org/publications/articles/?ArtID=923) cola drinks fell into a pH range of approximately 2.4 - 3.3 (with most being below pH 3.0) whilst non-colas had a pH range of approximately 2.9 - 3.7 (all but one measured was over pH 3.0). Iced teas came in at around pH 2.9
Here are a selection of the pH values measured:
Coke 2.525
Diet Coke 3.289
Pepsi 2.530
Diet Pepsi 3.031
Cherry Coke 2.522
RC Cola 2.387
Mountain Dew 3.229
Diet Mountain Dew 3.365
Dr. Pepper 2.899
Diet Dr. Pepper 3.169
Squirt 2.898
7-Up 3.202
Diet 7-Up 3.706
Sprite 3.298
Mug Root Beer 4.038
typically around 3, due to the presence of carbonic acid formed from carbon dioxide dissolving in water.
Carbonated water is a more refreshing drink.
Carbonated alcoholic drinks can be absorbed more quickly into the bloodstream than non-carbonated drinks due to the carbonation increasing the rate of absorption in the stomach. This can lead to a quicker onset of effects from the alcohol in carbonated drinks compared to non-carbonated drinks.
Carbonated mineral waters are acidic.
Carbonated beverages can be re-carbonated after going flat. Special equipment such as pumps and dispensers can be used to pump CO2 back into the bottle.
Carbonated soft drinks are typically slightly acidic due to the presence of carbonic acid from the dissolved carbon dioxide gas. Hydrochloric acid, on the other hand, is a strong acid with a lower pH value than the weak acid found in carbonated drinks. This is why hydrochloric acid has a lower pH than a carbonated soft drink.

carbonated drink
By heating of carbonated drinks the carbon dioxide is released and the drink become noncarbonated.
7-Up is a carbonated soft drink that is neither an acid nor a base. It is a neutral beverage with a pH close to 7, which is considered neutral on the pH scale.
The pH level of carbonated water is typically around 3-4, making it slightly acidic. This level can vary depending on the specific brand or type of carbonated water.
Carbonated water is a more refreshing drink.
