You could but you'd be quite disingenuous if you did considering that coffee delivers caffeine without a bunch of added sugar.

Sugar free/low sugar energy drinks are really common, and most coffee drinkers I know are mixing in sugar or creamer or something in their coffee, so I don't think they're that different. Personally, as someone who is super sensitive to bitterness, coffee has never worked for me, so if I need a caffeine boost, I go for a sugar free Red Bull or a white Monster

I was drinking the sugar free energy drinks, so I wasn't getting a ton of sugar.

Still not saying it's healthy but it wasn't because of too much sugar.

Sugar-free energy drinks aren’t rare (at least here in Europe), and people are putting fat and sugar in their coffee as well.
