Coke finds Coke

Unless you're abrading your teeth right after drinking diet coke (brushing teeth after drinking is worst)

Nothing happen

The effect of sustained sugar exposure on teeth is well known, for example

Its even got a name in that area Mountain Dew mouth, people drink so much of it (and its iirc about 40% higher sugar content than coke) that in effect their teeth are pretty much permanently covered in sugar, = very happy bacteria.

for the sugared drinks you can brush afterwards to remove the sugar.

its the diet ones you cant brush after as your teeth will be soft for a time

Normal coke contains the acid as well, its that that softens the enamel, which is why you don't brush after drinking fruit juice either.

The post you responded to was in reply to someone who said they drunk coke, not diet, so with that quantity being consumed you pretty much have to conclude hes not drinking a lot else. Hence hes not drinking it in one go and therefore highly unlikely to be brushing after each drink. But that would be bad anyway as normal coke is also acidic, and therefore enamel softening ;)

The best by far way of dealing with getting sugar off teeth after drinking or eating anything is chewing gum (sugar free). It boosts the saliva which naturally "washes" the residues off the teeth.
It takes iirc 30 minutes roughly for the traces to be removed naturally by the body, quite a lot quicker with the mechanical effect of chewing gum, combined with saliva.

Have a read up here on some of the well known brands:

Somewhat surprised there, perhaps the formulation has changed, but I used to recall the diet variety having a lower pH than the sugared version. Thus being more acidic, perhaps in the past 15 years since I looked at this they have altered their formulas or added more acidic regulators.

Either way, 3L a day of full coke, not good for any aspect of your body.
