Your poor insides 
How are you not dead?!
Thats a proper overdose of caffeine, in case you didn't know you are going to die of a heart attack, probably a lot sooner than you think
My friends kid has 6 cans over the space of a few hours and he ended up in hospital
Next you'll be telling us you drink vodka & an energy drink, definitely not a good thing either

Those little cans only have something like 70mg of caffeine in them. Not going to do you any harm having 5 of those over the course of the day. Theres quite a large difference between ending up in hospital and actually dieing aswell. http://www.energyfiend.com/death-by-caffeine check it out
personally i adore relentless, 1 can of that on a near empty stomach gives me the jitters
I'd be more concerned with the empty calories rather than the caffeine.
lol thats funny ..
although i have two red bulls in the fridge for breakfast ! Does that make me evil ?
You realise a single large Starbucks coffee has more caffeine that what he's drinking right?
So? Starbucks isn't exactly known as "healthy" is it?
lol
Aren't these drinks packed with sugar too?
They're horrible drinks, quite why it has almost become 'cool' to drink them is beyond me. I could understand if you need an occasional kick but to drink them every day? Suppose it's the same reason why people drink coffee every day, you get addicted.
Damn addicts!

whist not being ideal to drink on a regular basis, due to his body getting a higher and higher tolerance to caffeine, therefore making the whole point of it useless. it probably isn't as bad as some of you seem to think it is on a caffeine basis, if we are talking sugar then yeah, it is a horrendous amount.
caffeine is fine, so long as your not an idiot and taking crazy amounts, the body can handle a lot. theres some people who take 6 shots of espresso in their coffee in the morning every day in america / canada and they have not died yet. otherwise coffee places would be getting sued for basically selling poison.
as said before the body can take a lot of damage, whilst a vodka red bull is not healthy, it probably isn't going to kill you.
i would strongly recommend keeping caffeine to a minimum though, because of how the tolerance levels build up. the reason why regular coffee drinkers, drink a lot of coffee. also possible side effect are headaches, migraines, blurry vision, etc from regularly taking a lot of caffeine.
these energy drinks are not going to kill him but they are going to stress his body and he is going to suffer for it, you could say similar things about alcohol, look at how alcohol, stresses the body, damages your liver, etc. drinking 6 cans of lager a day isn't going to kill you but it's not healthy either.
having the odd can here and there is perfectly healthy, but i would not be taking 4-6 a day, your going to be getting less positives out of it by drinking so much. also there is a reason why your drinking that much, your tolerances have undoubtedly built up and you need that many for the same effect 1 can used to give.
i would suggest you drink 1 can a day max, or at least switch to a sugar free version.

I don't drink them because it's "cool". I drink them because they serve their intended purpose while tasting quite nice.
but yeah sugar free versions are a good call and what i drink now when i can. e.g relentless recently brought out a sugar free version which is perfect
