If I deauthorize all computers

If I reauthorize all computers with my apple ID will I lose all my information?

Do I just authorize the computers I want and the everything comes back?

Everything you purchase with your Apple ID is linked to that account, not your computer/device

You can find all the detailed information here:

No content is lost when you deauthorize. You just may not be able to play some of it (video content, old pre-iTunes-Plus music, etc) until you reauthorize the computer that it is on.
