I have a countdown timer on my computer, which is available on several watches which reminds me to drink every 15 minutes. You might want to look into something like that. As the others have said, staying hydrated is key. The golden rule is to drink before you are thirsty and eat before you are hungry. You may also want to try chewing gum to stimulate your salivary glands unless you are going so hard that you risk inhaling it.
