For some of us older guys with enlarged prostates, anything beyond 1.5
hours can be a problem whether hydrated or not. Also, intentional
dehydration can lead to kidney stones, and you don't want to go there.

Carry water to sip and either a gel bag or Little John container and
learn how to use it in flight - removes the stress and solves the
problem. According to Sporty's, they have documented proof that the
Little John has been known to extend the range of a Piper Malibu by 500
miles :-)

It would be nice if somebody in this NG would buy one of each type of
container, drink a lot and then go up for 5 hours with a companion of
opposite sex and give us all a Pirep on available technologies...

A zip lock bag works. We had a few really long legs on our flights in
AU and that's all we had. Worked great. Here in the US we just land
somewhere, but we do have piddle packs, just in case.
