Has anyone ever dived with a small hydration pack in their BCD in case they get thirsty or to wet their mouth? Any downside to it?

Beer bottle ? How does that work ? You open it and drink quickly before the water gets in ?I have one from Deep Sea Supply that goes in the channel between my doubles. It is quite nice for really long dives, but really only use it on decompression.
Don't have a good way to store it on singles or sidemount, but I have a pocket that lives on my O2 bottle that I can put capri suns, beer bottles ;-), bananas, whatever in to eat on deco. Since most of my diving is cave diving in the springs, I tend to just drink the spring water whenever I get thirsty.
For basic scuba diving, you aren't really in the water anywhere near long enough IMO to need it. Drink something before you get in and after you get out.

No problem in fresh water. It depends on the beer in question, but quite a few have a specific gravity of 1.03, therefore as long as you don't tilt the bottle it shouldn't dilute. However salt water is also 1.03 so you'd have to be really careful.Beer bottle ? How does that work ? You open it and drink quickly before the water gets in ?
