No, not really. At least not popular main-line beverages. I even had AI do a search - and it listed several products, including Coke Zero as containing it - yet every detailed ingredient list I can find does NOT list erythritol in any of the beverages I checked.
Erythritol is more common in candies and other foods. It is a sugar alcohol, and as such tends to have a laxative effect when consumed in significant quantities.
This sweetener may very well present the claimed neurological issues, but I really wish the inflammatory (and generally false) claims to scare people were not part of it. It takes away credibility.
Sugar is bad. Sugar substitutes are far worse.

Disclaimer: This report summarizes the findings of an in vitro (lab-based) study. The research did not test erythritol’s effects in living humans, so it does not prove that consuming erythritol causes stroke or other health problems. Always consult qualified health professionals for advice about your diet and health choices.
In other words, junk science.
I had some Godiva chocolates from Costco that were so bad I had to take them back. They had that stuff in them, and I’ve avoided it ever since.
I expect a “new, safe” sweetener soon.
I wonder about Stevia.
There are no shortcuts.
