I found my travel mug very useful at Charterhouse where we had two official tea-breaks per day and the mugs provided were tiny. I'd drink cold water at the tea break, and fill my travel mug with hot water and a herbal teabag (both of which were provided, which was nice; hot water should be available most places though and teabags are light), remove the teabag at the end of tea break and drink the actual tea about an hour later when it got to a temperature I could ingest comfortably.
I'm pretty sure if I hadn't done this I would have ended up dehydrated.
A water bottle is also a very, very useful thing to carry, though so standard I wouldn't necessarily include it in a food and drink packing list.
If it's going to be busy there's a lot to be said for labelling your things with your name so they might find your way back to you if lost.
