Sugar is bad but Coke zero makes the drink taste awful for me. If I wanted to limit my calorie intake I shouldn't be drinking in the first place (rum has like 250 cal/100ml)
Straight rum, yeah, but most common brands available do have some added sugar unless otherwise specified e.g. Captain Morgan, Malibu Rum, Bacardi Rum (except for Light and Gold which have 0g). My diabetic father-in-law just tends to avoid rum in general because it's too much hassle making sure it's one without any added sugars.

I don't really notice the difference with Coke Zero. It still has that acid taste that goes so well with alcohol.
Sugar isn't about the calories, it's about what it does to your body. Calories are so 80s. Sugar is a lot worse than we ever thought it was.
If that's the case, it's probably best to not have rum in the first place, because it's made by fermenting sugarcane
And the sugar is consumed in the fermentation process.
