Last time I checked I was getting about 2 miles to the pint (Imperial pint BTW) it is a mile from my parents house to the pub...

Yesterday the heat index was 98F and I drank 3or 4 bottles on a 12 mile ride. On Monday it's supposed to be 63F, and I will probably go 12 miles without taking a single sip of water.

For my commute? None. It's less than 8 miles round-trip.
95F temperatures on long rides? I'm stopping everywhere I can to refill water bottles.
Pub run? I ride 4 miles there and back, usually drink 3 - so 1 1/3 mile per pint.

I'm not sure of the mileage,but after about a fifth...I'm done.
Depends alot on the temps,could be 1 bottle every 20 miles...could be 4.

I have a 16-oz double-walled stainless steel coffee tumbler that fits nicely into an aluminum bottle cage. When I carry it on my commute (cold temps), I always put it in my seat tube cage so it stays mostly upright.
Works like a charm. Except, you know, that charms don't actually work, and this does.

I can get through a fifty mile ride with just two 16 oz. bottles, but I'm pretty parched during the last five miles, and typically need to down another 30 oz. once I'm done.
