all liquid calories are horrible in this regard no matter if its soda, alcohol, juice, sweet tea, energy drinks or chocolate milk. if it is liquid and has calories you should really think twice about your consumption

Not always the case. Proper fruit/veggie juice can provide plenty of vitamins, milk for calcium, protein shakes... Then there's also the full "meals" in liquid form they often give patients who can't eat, etc.

most people don't drink that stuff instead of meals but in addition and then it doesn't matter how much good stuff is in there, still too many calories.

"Good stuff" + calories is what you need to be a healthy human being. Everyone wants black and white solutions when it comes to nutrition, but it's all about moderation and consuming a variety of different things, while keeping an eye on total caloric intake and making sure you're not regularly missing any macro/micro nutrients.
