    $\begingroup$ Probably due to a phenomenon called association. It happens a lot for non polar solutes (sugar) in polar solvents (water). Normally it arises out of something called Hydrogen bonding . Also steric factors could also come to play when you're dealing with highly concentrated solutions. $\endgroup$
