Even though honey is liquid and sugar is dry, The Joy of Cooking recommends substituting 1 cup honey for 1 cup sugar. But you should realize that honey will affect the finished product in taste (some varieties of honeys have strong flavor), texture (chewier, heavier), and color (darker). Also, honey has almost twice the sweetness of sugar.

Honey does contain sugar: fructose and maltose if I remember correctly but not sucrose (the kind of sugar we get from sugar cane and that you buy as sugar). Fructose etc are just as fattening and tooth destroying as sucrose. It is however sweeter so if you are adding it for sweetness add about half as much honey as you would cane sugar.
