Many people take gum to chew on a plane, not realizing that chewing too much gum can cause gas and bloating. When you chew gum, you tend to swallow air. If your gum contains artificial sweeteners, chewing too much of it may hurt your stomach.

You don’t know what water has been used to make the coffee you’ve ordered. Its dehydrating effect on your body also makes it a bad choice. Coffee can irritate your bladder, something you don’t need on a plane.
