Honestly, I've found so many good reasons not to drink sugary fizzy pop on my own account that I certainly don't like my kids to do it (although they get a pass occasionally). My main concern with it as a substitute is that you get through it quickly and rack up the sugar levels in no time. Best bet as far as I'm concerned are 0.0% beers - a third of the calories and a fifth of the sugar - although I'll try to stick to two of those at max. They make me feel groggy despite having no alcohol in them.
