NOT REALLY IF YOU WANT PROPPER TASTING BEER. IT IS A MAIN INGREDIENT LIKE YEAST

If you're trying to make a low-cal beer, I'd suggest just making a lighter beer with less malt. Keep in mind that the lighter a beer is, the more you'll notice any off-flavors, so you'll need to keep everything very sterile and definitely use a two-stage fermentation.
If you are trying to add sweetness to a beer that the yeast will not be able to ferment, lactose is the usual sugar to use. You might also want to try stevia, which isn't a sugar but is sweet.
Good luck.

No, you need the sugar to help make the alcoholic content of the beer. The less sugar the less alcoholic content. Therefore fewer calories. No sugar, no beer.

No.
YOU don't consume the sugar, the yeast does. If the wort is sugar free, the yeast don't make beer...period.

In order for your yeast to react to form the alcohol it needs the sugar. No sugar, no alcohol, no beer.
