How bad is Soda/Pop?

So I’m at the start of my weight loss journey mostly focusing on CICO for the moment but I’ve also been trying to cut back on my alcohol consumption. Alcoholism runs in my family and the most pressure I’ve ever had to drink has been at family gatherings. Once the quarantine started I began to rely on drinking a little more than I should have and I want to prove to myself that I don’t need it so I’m going cold turkey for a month and then will be slowly reintroducing it in more moderation.

However, my soda/pop/cola (whatever you call it where you’re from) has gone through the roof! It was likely higher than I anticipated already because I do a bit of mixology and sugary drinks are the easiest to share with friends. But I’m worried that drinking all this pop is going to make it harder for me to lose weight. I’ve seen all sorts of contradictory information but I’m really not sure what I should be following. I drink diet whenever I have soda (which some people say is worse) and make sure to buy by the can rather than the pack so I can limit my intake a little.

Stats: 22F, 5’2, 170-180 lbs

TLDR: How bad is soda for weight loss? Is it something I should focus on cutting as much as alcohol?
