Might want to Google it or ask your doctor.  This is a substance abuse forum.

if consumed enough energy drinks could potentially be substance abuse that's what i'm trying to figure out. And i've already googled it believe me there's nothing definitive

The answer is yes.  High amounts of caffeine can cause all kinds of problems.  Soda pop in general contains high amounts of phosphorous, which can block the absorption of other nutrients, particularly calcium.  The high amounts of sugar can cause inflammation, diabetes, and obesity, though the caffeine will counter this aspect.  Basically, you're taking speed, and as we know, speed kills.  Use in moderation, this ain't a banana no matter how it's advertised.
