Brief Answer:
Hi and welcome

Detailed Answer:
Well this is not dangerous and if you dont take lot of sugars in other food then it wont have some bad effect, but however it would be reasonable to reduce this to XXXXXXX 2 bottles since high sugar energy drinks can cause blood sugar variations especially if your diet is sugar rich. 3 bottles of such drinks is maximal recommended sugar taht should be taken daily.
Try to find some more natural drink based on fresh fruits.
Wish you good health. Regards
