I drink about 5 or 6 - 22 oz. bottles a day too as a normal thing. Doing this woods thing, I simply have to take a break. (Mostly to find a big tree to pee on and hide behind.)
The areas are so large I have to take at least 5 to 10 minutes for a smoke, a few bits of candy and a couple sips of water at least every hour where I can find a comfortable log to park my carcass. I catch up with journal entries then too, so I can reference them when needed. It helps renew me physically and also get my bearings as to where I am in location to where I parked and how much further I'm going to go before I have to turn around and head back before dark. On the weekends I will sometimes pack a lunch and eat it between spots. And there's always a large cup of sweet black coffee sitting in the cup holder of my truck, cold or not, I love it!!

Geez Ed , can I come to Summer Camp at your place? That sounds like a terrific routine you have there right down to the smoke break part and I haven't burned one in 5 years now but I'd fall off the wagon just to partake with you. BTW Joe , how's that working out for you?

Anytime Dusty! But you better be able to keep up. Or "No Skittles for You!" I've smoked now for 48 years, since I was 15! 49 years next year! People aren't fond of quitters. LOL

I take breaks only because work and the wife's honey do list keeps getting in the way. When I get to go it's all out. I take water and something to eat most of the time.
