'Beer and sugar grams.
Alcohol contains 7 kilocalories per gramme. Forty grammes of alcohol (which corresponds to four 25 cl glasses of lager) contain as many calories as 70 g of sugar. As a comparison, four glasses of a soft drink (eg. coke) contain as much as 132 g of sugar, which is twice as much as four glasses of beer. Beers with a higher alcohol content contain more calories.
Wines and spirits contain more calories than beer.
The calorie content of beer is determined by the quantity of fermented sugars and by the alcohol, and generally varies from 30 to 45 kcal per 100 ml.
In comparison to other drinks, this is rather low.'
But to answer your question, yes.
because most people consume sugar and caffeince daily for their entire life and are addicted to them and dont ever really know. I went on a diet once and started getting really bad headaches, it was because I cut out the soda, ever since then, I have made sure to cut down and eventually stopped drinking it.
Unlike drinking alcohol or marijuana, at least I admit they may be bad , but still not as worst as drinking 2 liter cokes and coffee everyday.
Ive cut down my drinking and other bad things that Im down to only 2 and one I only do on the weekends.
So the comparison could be argued from many angles.
'The problem that arises in coping with sugar addiction is that sugar is in so many common foods now, it's practically impossible to cut it out completely. You can't eat a sandwich without getting sugar from the bread or the mayo. You can't eat a salad without getting sugar from the dressing.'

If you dont drink everyday (which i do not) sugar can very well be worst than alcohol, since alcohol has a shitload of sugar anyway.
Marijuana is in a whole new league though.
