I was asking because I thought maybe there were other solutions I wasn't aware of.
You can tuck an extra water bottle in your jersey pocket, but I find that weight a bit annoying.
Added benefit of a hydration pack is that it makes drinking easier, and usually includes some pockets for your snacks, tools, etc. I often use one in hot weather for gravel and road rides.
