much as I hate to agree with Chomp
no, you don't NEED sugar.

It changes the flavour and it might help with colour during cooking but the brining process only needs salt and water.

the sugar tempers the salty flavour

very much depends on the meat
as to whether that matters. but regardless, the process you are trying to achieve in brining (pulling water into the meat whilst breaking down some proteins) only requires salt water.
