Guys forget it,
you aren't soaking your horns in coke, you are just drinking it and then playing. That means MAYBE some sugar particles are getting into the horn. The carbonation is going into YOUR stomach and bowels - there are 2 exits for that. Drinking sweet stuff is no different than not brushing your teeth before playing.
I find that my chops get sticky with the sugar and that my pulse goes up with the caffeine. That doesn't hurt the horn, but does make playing less predictable!
