Not the OP, but indeed I never eat raw sugar nor dissolve it in hot water in order to drink it.

Nobody does that (or almost nobody?). Sugar consumption comes from almost everything nowadays, from white bread to sauces to... everything. Or maybe your comment was ironic and I didn't get it, sorry then.
I didn't go for ironic, but it was meant rhetorically. Attacking the OP by equating coffee intake with sugar intake is a bad faith argument, precisely because sugar is a prevalent food additive while coffee is not. Moreover, the OP clearly said "drinking coffee". not "ingesting coffee/caffeine".
Ever eat at Subway? There's ~9% sugar in just the bread. It's generally safe to extrapolate this as being the case for most ready/packaged/fast food.

In any case, it's very illuminating to look up nutritional info of things you eat every once in a while.

Not the OP, but this comes as a second nature to me. Checking what you put in your body is quite important.
