Yup...one of the densest liquids in nature. You can carry water in your bottles. You can also carry small amounts of fruit, which often 'cure' your thirst as well: often your thirst is not for water, it is for the nutrients that fresh fruit will provide ya.

When I was in the Atacama desert in Chile I carried one of those big 1.5 liter plastic bottles filled with water lashed onto my front rack. It was in plain sit and when I was thirsty I would look down and see it; which would have a great psychological effect: knowing that the water was so close.
