The acid slowly dissolves the protective enamel on your teeth and exposes the softer, more vulnerable, brittle layer of dentin that makes up the bulk of a tooth. It's pretty easy to prove for yourself.
You have bacteria in your mouth at all times. They aren't a problem if you keep on top of it, but leaving sugar and starch on your teeth and not brushing them is like a 24/7 banquet for them, and they eat sugar and shit acid.
