no in reality...it depends on the temp...at the moment...2 litres is too much for me in 3 hours..but in summer, it can go up to 3 litres..
Then usually some juice or whatever after...
I rode the red route at glentress yesterday...very icy at the top...only managed about 1/2 a litre of water in the whole loop.

We were up at Swinley for about 4 hours on Saturday during which time I only drank a 1 litre bottle of sports drink followed by a brew in the Lookout afterwards.
Maybe experiment with some of the sport and recovery drinks during and after your ride..?

Used to give me grief, and got some Naramig or similar named product from the GP.
Had a really bad one after running a Mtb leaders course, and didnt see the 30mph sign, or the copper hiding in a layby! Fine, points...not good.
Drugs got rid of headaches asap, but they are very strong.
I remember the worst thing I ever did was add a tiny iddy bit of salt to my squash drink as per home made sports drink recipe. The subsequent headaches were unbelievable and totally abnormal for me.
Because of the tiny quantity of salt I was putting into a litre of liquid I was left wondering about my overall dietary salt intake and I was indeed overdoing the salt. I decided to knock salt on the head for the most part as my body didn't need the surplus.

get yourself one of tehm and your water intake will increase dramatically
As has been said above depends on the weather. last weekend I drank around a litre in a 3 hour jaunt around GT but tend to drink much more than that in the summer
Also, as sopmeone else said ...wear a scull cap under the helmet in really cold weather...this also helps...
Do you wear glasses normally but take them off to cycle?
I should really invest incontacts but haven't yet and find that i sometimes get a headache from eye strain if I've been on a long cycle

Think about that 49" waiste being shoved into a pair of 36" pants and you're along the right lines.
Next we'll know your head will be discovered 300m from your body and the mass will still be errupting 3 days later. People will come from miles and miles just to see it.
