I agree, as much as I like coffee, I try to resist it (along with junk food) when I'm flying. If there are any health benefits to coffee, I'm sure they can countered due to coffee being a diuretic.
I'm sure 2-4 cups of coffee can increase the chance of becoming dehydrated - especially on long flights in extremely dry cockpits.
Sounds like a recipe for Kidney Stones!
