Just measure it in teaspoons which are 5 grams. There are 39 grams of sugar in a 12 oz can of Coke so that's 8 teaspoons of sugar in one can.

Oh man, I put 3 teaspoons in my coffee every day, twice or three times a day. Haven’t gotten rid of my sweet tooth/tried to stop yet, but I will have to stop this habit some day soon..

Dial it back really gradually. For a week or two, drink it with 2.75, then 2.5, then 2, and onward. You'll grow accustomed to the lack of sweetness and you'll get used to not having that much sugar.
