Yes, it would be possible if the drink did not have preservatives in it. Some people have tried it (I think one person did Mountain dew). I believe it's not good tasting, though! It's easier and better tasting to just add vodka to the fizzy drink.
I may soon have a large quantity that I would have to pay disposal costs on. I will also soon have a large ammount of free heat available. I was toying with the idea of fermenting and distilling. If it's not good for drinking, I maybe could run my car on it?

High fructose corn syrup is very fermentable. It's about half fructose and half glucose, and is similar to the basic sugar makeup of honey.

FYI: unlicensed distillation is illegal in the US.
That is all.

Homedistillers.org is the forum you want, not this one for that type of, "experiment"
This is starting to look like the UHMG, (Underage Hootch Makers Gambit)

I have no way of knowing if the OP is his claimed age or not.
YES, yeast will eat the sugars and make alcohol. It'll probably taste like crap. If you're of age, you'll be much better off hitting up the liquor store for bargain hooch; if you're a kid, you're not going to impress the ladies with fermented Kool-Aid.
If you're interested in distillation, that's for another forum.
Anyone have anything else to add?

Um, no, I think we're done here.
Sorry.
