Yes, but not nearly so much as soda. Coffee and tea are fine in moderation, and even better if you make them with ionized water. The ionized water will reduce their acidity. In terms of acidity, not an issue (in moderation). Same with beer and wine - they are somewhat acidic, but not even remotely in the same league as soda.
Soda is SO acidic that even 1/2 soda will mess up the body's pH for several days!
It's just evil, what it does.
It takes 3 days of drinking high alkaline water to counteract just a bit of soda. In contrast, I can bounce back after a couple of glasses of wine, with just a few glasses of ionized water.
It takes 32 glasses of ionized water to counteract 1 glass of soda...essentially pointless. And since most people don't drink ionized water, they have no way of counteracting it, and then they just drink more soda, and the attack on their body continues. And then they wonder why they have arthritis, fibromyalgia or diabetes...or cancer!
Everyone has cancer cells in their body at any given time, but the immune system normally destroys them. A surefire way to feed the cancer cells and give them a nice cushy place to live and grow, is to drink soda! Cancer loves an acidic environment to grow in (proven in 1931 and never refuted), and the sugar feeds the cancer! Yum yum says the cancer cells, give me more!
Soda has got to be the nastiest stuff people put in their bodies (well, it's a toss up, compared to vaccines...) I shudder whenever I hear of someone who is in pain, and I try to suggest that they eliminate the sodas, but they just don't get it.
Those who do eliminate the sodas and replace them with alkaline water, invariably get some degree of pain relief.
And that's not even getting into the aspartame in diet sodas causing brain tumors...
