Thats what I do. I wish VX would say you have to give the water back or put it in your carry on. If it is seen in a seat back pocket it will be collected. I know the FAA probably will not allow that, unfortunately.
AS used to hand out little bottles pre-departure, and they changed to water in a plastic cup for essentially the same reason.
