I just have a couple of bottles, usually one with gatorade which seems to slow the freezing. I like seeing how much I have left and I don't have to deal with securing the tube or possible drips and leaks

One small water bottle for the approach and ascent, done before it's too cold, one thermos with tea for afterwards/summit/backup.
