The general recommendation is one 750 ml bottle of water or sports drink every 1 to 1.5 hours while you are riding. More if it is windy, hot, or you're really exerting yourself.

Plus a glass of water or juice or something before the ride and again after.

I usually go with plain water on the bicycle, but occasionally I'll have a sports drink in one bottle and water in the other.
