I don't drink soda or alcohol, but I do drink tea and iced coffee drinks. I drink these beverages w/ nonfat milk, and if it's tea I generally don't use sugar, no whipped cream on either, but there is still the issue of caffeine. These drinks I have found out contain an average amount of calories, no nutrients, but very little fat and little to no cholesterol, so what should I be concerned with health-wise? How bad is caffeine?

It's not really bad in moderation. Drinking six red bulls in an hour is bad. Having a cup or two of coffee or tea is not bad at all; it even helps!

Caffeine can be bad if you use it too much ; see what Wikipedia writes about caffein:
"Caffeine is a drug that in large amounts, especially over an extended period of time, can lead to a condition termed "caffeinism." Caffeinism usually combines physical addiction with a wide range of unpleasant physical and mental conditions including nervousness, irritability, anxiety, tremulousness, muscle twitching (hyperreflexia), insomnia and heart palpitations..."
So, if you use it in large amounts, you might get some problems as insomnia etc...
Some people get stomach ache easily when they drink things containing caffeine... so - with that fact, all people should be careful with caffeine.

In some of us caffeine can irritate the bladder and cause an infection. Of course, there's also the issue of irritability or hypertension in excessive amounts. Everyone has their tolerance level. I drink just about decaf everything and have found many more interesting flavours than I could have imagined.
