Say nothing, get the kid a defibrillator for Christmas.

He is your nephew, just tell him yourself. Just don't do it in a douchey manner.

Shitty parents need to be informed that they’re being shitty parents.

That is what I said

just show your sibling stories of kids who died from drinking too many of those. won't be hard to find those stories.

There is definitely a point when it comes to family...

He has a son who is a freshman in high school and I counted him drinking an average of 5-6 energy drinks a day while they were here.

This isn't remotely anywhere near that point.

Don’t waste your breath,almost no one will listen,especially teenagers.They think they are invincible.
I had a friend that was a heavy smoker and I would make comments about how bad they were.He would just laugh and say we all die from something.Few years later he had a heart attack and was diagnosed with lung cancer within about 6 month period.He quit smoking then and he actually recovered from both.Hasn’t touched a cigarette since but his wife still smokes,go figure.
I have several other examples of friends and family members that ignored my advice about their eating habits and they came to a bad end.
I no longer say anything to anybody,They get irritated and don’t listen anyway.

You don’t. Mind your own business

What the frick is wrong with you?

There is no setting or time or place where it is going to be taken in a positive way. You're better off talking about them behind their back.
