Or would there be no difference?

Humans rapidly deteriorate at high altitude and at the highest altitudes it's necessary to stop and rest after each step taken. In these conditions sucking soda through a straw would be much harder than under normal corcumstances.

However, assuming the human body wasn't affected or you had a machine sucking the soda then it would be easier because there's less pressure and slightly less gravity pushing and pulling the soda downwards.

As you get nearer to outer space the effects of gravity and air pressure recede to such a point that if you flicked a drop of soda it would just keep going forever because there's no forces acting on it - even if you flicked it upwards.

At altitude it's the same principle but on a much lesser scale.
