I don't think there's long term evidence for negative problems. However, high dosages of caffeine are dangerous and have killed people. Those dosages are easily achieved through the likes of energy drinks.

Chronic long-term use of high amounts of caffeine (>600 mg, or two Starbucks Grande coffees) are linked with: bone density issues, sleep issues, anxiety issues, cardiovascular strain, stomach acid issues. They aren't super bad, but definitely not harmless.
High dosage of water have also killed people. And easily achieved through energy drinks? I strongly doubt that. Most energy drinks are not any stronger than coffee
Lower dosages of caffeine kill you than the water dosages that kill you.
> And easily achieved through energy drinks?
Yeah, once you start pushing 1000mg of caffeine, you are getting into areas where if you have heart problems, you could be putting yourself in danger.
> Most energy drinks
But not all. So why strongly doubt it?
There are plenty of energy drinks which are fairly popular with huge amounts of caffeine and there's little labeling requirements to let people know that. Bang energy drink is a good example of that. 300mg per can, meaning 3 cans is putting you in dangerous territories.
You can buy a bottle of caffeine pills at Walmart for a few bucks. What are we even talking about?
How dangerous caffeine is. You can also buy a bottle of Tylenol from Walmart, that doesn't mean it's particularly safe to OD on.
