You have to watch that.  You forgot about the caffeine.

Really, the only thing that would be of concern is the sweetener.  Chemicals.

I drink weakly flavored sparkling water.

Carbonation can upset some people's stomachs (soda in the morning worsens my nausea personally) and can cause bloating and gas. Artificial sweeteners kinda make them more fizzy which can make one more gassy. Two 2 liters is over 1 gallon which is a pretty large amount of liquid and would be likely to upset your stomach if drank quickly even if it were water and probably shouldn't be drank in a sitting (used to have a teacher in highschool who was an asshole and would get kids to drink an entire gallon of milk in a couple minutes... it's too much volume for most people's stomachs... so often the kids would promptly vomit).

Artificial sweeteners aren't great but it shouldn't make you permanently or seriously ill. If you're concerned about the health implications of artificial sweeteners, even in the case of expired diet soda, I'm fairly certain they're reversible through abstinence... though I don't think this is what's going on here at all.

My wife drinks diet soda on a regular basis, but limits her consumption to maybe a can or two per day at the most. She said she needs the caffeine.

What are you concerned about? There are healthy soda alternatives out there that taste similar. I've heard that "diet" soda is ironically worse for you. Do you like tea or coffee?

Artificial sweeteners have been studied for decades. Thousands of studies by hundreds of scientists all around the world. None have ever found convincing evidence that they cause any health problems. We know for certain that sugar is much, much worse for you.
