What!? Are people really that dense? 2.2 gallons a day is, for the average person, a ridiculous amount of any beverage, even water. Assuming it's not diet Coke (which has its own set of problems) that's 1760kcal/day, 475g/day of sugar, on top of the 400mg/day of caffeine. It seems like a no-brainer that this would slowly kill you. It would just be a question of what got you first - the caffeine or the type II diabetes.
