If beverages like sodas contain so much calories, cant we just keep on living by drinking them only?

You need more neutrition then calories. Firstly at least 10% of our diet have to be protein although even this is often too little. Our body can not produce enough of all the ammino acids we need for the proteins that make up our cells. So without protein in our diet we do not have any way to repair and replace cells in our body. And we need a number of vitamins and minerals too.
Technically yes, but realistically no.
Living on sodas alone, while you might think it’s a good idea — calories, hey? — would be massively unhealthy. No protein, no fat, no vitamins, no minerals: you’d have the right calorie count, maybe, but it wouldn’t be nutritionally balanced in the least little bit.
No.
Sodas do not have sufficient nutrition to keep the body going. That is to say, it does not have the vitamins and minerals required to maintain or grow the body.
The body is a complex system that constantly requires new ‘parts’ so to speak. These are created from various vitamins and minerals such as calcium and iron. Without these, you will suffer some painful conditions as a result of these deficiencies before dying.
No. Like everyone has said, you need more than just calories. You need a lot of their things to keep your body working. Imagine if you only put gas in a car. Oil needs to be changed? Nope, only gas. Need new brakes? Nope, only gas. Need new Windshield wipers? AC doesn’t work? Engine making weird noise? Want to clean the seats? No, only gas. The car would stop working.
