Often, yes. A 12-ounce soft drink (a standard can) contains sugars equal to about 9 teaspoons, providing 150 easily metabolized calories. Since the body uses first the calories easiest to process, it first burns the simple sugars and then the complex carbohydrates. When you have soft drinks along with other foods during a day, the sugar usually provides so much energy that the body does not need to convert all the other carbohydrates to sugar. What does it do with all those extra carbs? Turns them to fat!

So, what if you want to add soft drinks to your already-sufficient diet but not gain any resultant weight? All you have to do is add enough extra exercise to burn off every one of those calories. How much? Well, for every 12 ounces of soda, just run for about a mile or for 15 minutes. Two miles for two cans. (The exact amount depends on many variables.)

If you don't add the extra exercise, and you already are taking in enough calories without the extra sugar from, say, two 12-ounce soft drinks (300 calories) a day, you'll gain about a pound every 12 days. That's over 30 pounds in one year!

If you discontinue drinking it, you can lose weight from it. But it does not really make you fat or skinny. It's just pointless sugar you're drinkng in. It does not make you fat, but it is not necessary as you can drink water instead of it.

No. There aren't any foods that make you fat. The only thing that makes you fat is eating more calories than you burn. Which means you could eat 1,200 calories in cake, cookies, etc. and still lose weight (that'd be really unhealthy, though, and you probably wouldn't feel that good, so it's not recommended.) Calories are calories. As long as the Gatorade isn't over your daily calorie intake for the day, it won't lead to weight gain.

Cocaine does not in of itself cause you to lose weight, however it is an incredibly strong appetite suppressant.

No, but it is still not healthy for you to drink too much of it.

Not really, But it could increase the stomach acidity as most soft drinks (soda) have carbonic acid (the acid that causes bubbles when the bottle is opened).
