Yes: Sounds like you're dealing with a decay problem and eliminating sugary beverages is a huge step toward reducing or eliminating decay. You also have to eliminate refined carbs like breakfast cereals, crackers from your diet. Everyone seems to need their taste buds entertained, but your teeth and overall health will improve dramatically if you just drink boring old water.

Yes: If you are talking about the soft drink, less sugar is good. If you are talking about cocaine, i recommend you quit and continue with a better lifestyle.
