No, carbonated drinks don't effect your lungs. They are bad because the carbonation can lead to an upset stomach and a myriad of intestinal problems. The CO2 is absorbed in the stomach juices and can give you gas, but it has little impact on your lungs or the level of CO2 in your blood.

A carbonated drink is acidic due to the disolved carbon dioxide gas and is bad for your teeth. However, the amount is so small that it wouldn’t affect your breathing in a meaningful way.
The sugar in carbonated drinks can be bad for your teeth and your diet.
Caffeine in large amounts can be harmful
The phosphoric acid in almost all carbonated drinks can chelate to calcium and reduce your daily intake of the mineral, causing brittle bones and kidney stones.

The carbon dioxide in carbonated drinks goes into your stomach, not into your lungs.

Only in a microscopic way is the CO2 bad. The drinks are bad because blood sugar needs to be controlled by your pancreas which makes insulin. The problem is this organ wears out. Also the surges in blood sugar are not natural and while they are out of control while you are drinking it can harm you.

When you drink carbonated drinks, you don't pour them into your lungs! They go into your stomach. The gas will fizz out of the drink and build up in your stomach until you burp it out.

you dont inhale the carbon dioxide it goes into your stomach and then you burp it out. however there is a lot of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere anyway, its carbon monoxide or CO you need to be carefull of.

They are not bad for you. If you are talking about club soda, its just like drinking water. but if you mean coke or pepsi, that stuff is loaded with sugar and stuff that isnt good for u. beware of words like glucos and stuff like that. anything that rhymes with the word "gross" is a type of sugar being disguised with a fancy word. glad i could help :D
