The sugar-free kind. Rockstar, Red Balls, Monster, etc. How unhealthy is daily consumption? Long term effects? Keto friendly?

Just quitting caffeine gave me a lot more energy.

I can actually function after lunch time again.

I quit cold turkey. I was doing two cups out of the french press in the morning, then usually getting another black coffee in the biggest cup they have at the store at lunch time. By 5pm I was beat.

Figured I had to hit the reset button.

The day I stopped I had to pour a big floor, my head was pounding all day. A week later I felt great though, and even though I enjoy the taste of coffee and a hot drink in the morning, I basically put everything away so I wouldn't be tempted to make it.

I fill the hot drink gap with honey and lemon or sometimes hot chocolate.

Google "John Higgins energy drinks"

He's a cardiologist at the medical school I went to. He does a ton of research in to them.

tl;dr: they're bad for you.

It's all relative....

It is my one bad habit.  I drink 1 Monster per day.  It is the only caffeine each day and it is the only thing I drink that isn't straight water.

I drink one gallon of water per day. I have been doing this for at least 10 years.

No health problems of any kind, normal labs yearly, and normal BP.

I personally know of two very healthy gym rats, as the term goes, who died in their mid 20’s of heart attacks.  They were not roid  ragers but drank the energy drinks like mad.

I had a friend who said in Iraq their energy drink of choice was "wild tiger" they're made in Jordan. He still had a few and had me try one, it was very tasty however I don't drink energy drinks, or even coffee. Water is cheaper.

The last time I saw him he told me that caffeine has a half-life of 6 hours.  It takes 12 hours to get it all out of your system.

How bad would say 2 bronkaids and a Bang energy drink every day be for you? Asking for a friend

These Bang drinks are hard for me to comprehend... 300mg caffeine with 0 sugars/calories/fat/carbs and some of them taste excellent. Seems too good to be true. They do have sucralose though.

I like my coffee, but I do occasionally have energy drinks. I don't think they are good for you either but neither are most things today and most of us will die of some form of cancer one day. I am active, eat what I want, ( love breads and pastas ) and feel great unless I overdo the bourbon or beers. Fluctuate from 165-175lbs since 2003. I am getting back to my super diet to put on strength and a few pounds I will try to eat around 185 gm protein a day, and 300-350 carbs a day.

Have you ever just picked up a can and looked at the info... it's not just caffeine.

Those things are loaded with carbs/sugar... Looking at Amazon.

1, 8.4oz can of regular Red Bull

110 calories
27gr of Sugar
150mg of Sodium

8 ounces?  How many do you drink a day?  If you go by the "food chart" we were all spoon fed in school, the recommended sugar intake per day, is 28gr... You basically just nuked your entire recommended sugar intake for the entire day, with that one drink... a drink that really offers nothing else other than calories and sugar.
