If you feel dehydrated then don't drink. I always match the wine with water at least one for one so I don't have that problem.
I got a tiny mouth - I am only averaging about half ml per sip.

Yes, matching water and wine one for one helps. It is good that they give out bottled water. I seldom have more than three glasses on a long haul. I really sip. Perhaps it is just me. Nothing is really tasty 10km up and I try to minimise my trips to the bathroooms.
