The short answer is no.
Pop contains high fructose corn syrup as a main ingredient which has not undergone fermentation where sugar is converted to alcohol.
Beer actually contains no sugar if the brewer was able to reach terminal gravity during fermentation. What beer does have is carbohydrates which your body will turn into sugar once it's in your body.
**edited becasue of dumb answers below**
The question was whether pop had more sugar than beer or wine. How could you possibly think that beer has more sugar than pop?!?!? Ethanol is NOT sugar....yeast ATE the sugar and converted it to ethanol. That maltose that was once teh sugar in beer is gone forever....never to return. Carbohydrates don't turn to sugar until the are IN your body.... If you were to fille a test flask with beer and fill another one with pop and put a hydrometer in both, you would see that the beer would read 1.005 to 1.010. The pop would read over 1.080!!!!! A hydrometer measures density of water. Guess what!! High fructose corn syrup is DENSE!!! Unfermented beer (also called wort) would measure in the high 1.060's before yeast is added. Ethanol is less dense than water and sugar so as the yeast EATS the sugar, it is replaced with ethanol. And what does that mean class........that's right.....there is next to no sugar in fermented beer.....
Class dismissed....

Considering that the average wine glass is 5 oz, and an average soft drink is over 12 oz, I'd say soft drinsk have more sugar. In alcoholic beverages, the sugar has been converted to alcohol, which is metabolized a whole different way than carbohydrates.

There is no 'average' wine, as they vary from very dry to very sweet. ~
