It's sugar and caffeine; it isn't good for you, but I wouldn't say it's much worse than a sugary coffee concoction.

I prefer black coffee. Then again, I've had so much caffeine in the past two days (finishing a big project) that my eye is twitching.

One is loaded with sugar and the other aspartame, so I would say, yes, it's bad for you.

As long as you don't exceed 300 mg caffeine/day, you should develop no long term mental or physical health problems.

Edit: Mixing any type of energy drink with alcohol is a bad idea, however. The high levels of caffeine mixed with alcohol can cause heart palpatations. Also, since most energy drinks contain ginseng and taurine (stimulants), and alcohol is a depressant, you send mixed signals to your CNS which can cause cardiac problems and SOB.

I don't know if it's bad for you, but it tastes like ass. That's enough for me to avoid it.
