Can I ferment soda into alcohol?
Awesome question and I reckon you can. Holy shit someone must try making soda wine.
You probably could but it'd be a far from optimal environment for the yeast, so even if something happened I wouldn't expect any substantial level of alcohol to be obtained.

Shit, the main reason I'm doing this is so I can mix some Mountain dew and Dr pepper I won in a raffle to do mad shit with. Still, worth a shot.
Just mix water with dextrose and add distilling yeast to make hard alcohol and mix it with the soda

What kind of fucking poverty raffle gives Mountain Dew and Dr Pepper as a prize?

Yeah, I was at a goodwill.
There was a Sega Saturn there, so that was something.
But yeah, it was sad.

Before anything, I think you should de-carbonate the sodas or you might be creating a bomb, the yeasting process already makes it really bubbly
I did this a few weeks ago with a batch of Coca Cola and beer yeast. Ended up with an ok taste, and 6% ABV. It was an exciting experiment though. Could probably increase ABV by using wine-yeast instead.
I started by de-carbonating (boil for ~15 min), cooled it down, and then added some baking soda to reduce the acidity, so the yeast doesn't die.
Wait 2-4 weeks (till it stops bubbling), then add some sugar and bottle your brew.
