I like my coffee; milk and sugar are additives, but not essentials.
And since I rarely consume soft drinks/sodas/cokes (pick your preference), I think that healthwise, I'm still better off.
My blood-pressure is low and has been for 30+ years, so the coffee may help uptick it a little...

The milk and sugar should be the least of his worries. 
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

I don't think he's going for fitness/health here, he's just anti-sugar.

Coincidentally, I use very little added sugar and salt in my diet. It's a matter of taste, more than anything. But I have to work on my end-of-day chocolate ice cream craving.

CG is similar. He is on a no-sugar diet but consumes large quantities of ice cream

Coincidentally, he's also Aquarian.

I recently read a book by Charles Duhigg titled The Power of Habits. Very interesting read and quite an eye opener. Basically the book explains you can't not get rid off habits altogether, but you can change your habit. What you mentioned is classic case you may find the book to be helpful understanding as to what is going on your mind.

I can change my habit, but I can't change the environment entirely.
At work, coffee is in the break room; I just need to drink more coffee without creamer and sugar and retrain myself to NOT use them.
I like that... drink more coffee!

Coat the sugar container with something sticky/slimy.

I stopped putting sugar in my coffee at home several years ago but I still, for no discernible reason, add it when I'm in a coffee shop.
Normally I add milk [frothed to perfection by moi] for no other reason than I'd drink three times as much coffee if I went native. Occasionally I have a straight shot, or two, when I need to write some very complex code and in extreme 'elephant this, my brain no work' situations I go Arabic with cardamom - now that one really gets the ticker tocking.

I would almost be more worried about the amount of caffeine you are ingesting. Each cup is probably 70mg of the stuff. times 8 is 560mg a day. That is a bunch.

They are also learning how to ruin environment (polluting water source with soap) like humans weren't causing enough problems.

Geting peanuts is better than geting a bucket of water (dumped on you). Just an observation, not meant as a serious reply:

There's a QA question, wanting to know how he prevents his users from logging in more than once a day.
And I am soooooo tempted to tell him "When a user logs in, change his password. Then email him the new one 24 hours later."
But that'd be evil, right? Because anyone who can't work that one out for himself is probably gonna do it... 
Must...

I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

I've got an idea! I will add this thread as a solution to that question...
