If you are trying to keep your body hydrated for the performance, drink loads and loads of water before hand. Start drinking water 24hrs before the performance and keep drinking until the performance.

To know when you have had enough water... when your piss turns clear, that means you body has enough water because your kidneys aren't reabsorbing it.
I think I'm gonna try this next time...but I'm worried that I might need to go use the restroom right before a performance with all the nerves and excitement...then I'd be screwed...and it's pretty embarrassing trying to use the bathroom with a lungi on...

Yeah I agree with rajkaran. What would happen if you had to go really badly, but you were next in performance? Maybe you couldn't go and you have to have full expressions and full energy for your performance with possibility of stunts with the extreme urge to go to the restroom. Formula for problems!

I full endorse this school of thought. Start drinking water earlier in the day versus chugging down a bottle an hour before you hit the stage. You might be making a few trips to the restroom but it keeps you hydrated during the perfomance and drastically delays dry mouth, atleast for me it does.

Start hydrating about 48 hours before gametime.

The day before the show, buy or fill up a gallon of water. Leave it by your bed when you go to sleep. Grab it and start drinking first thing in the morning when you get up--before breakfast even. Drink long and deep, until you can't take any more (maybe about 1/4 of it). Keep sipping on the rest of the gallon throughout the day, and FINISH it 3 hours before you go on stage. Then, 1 hour before gametime, finish a regular-sized bottle of water (500 mL/16.9 FL OZ). You'll be making a lot of trips to the bathroom, so don't hold back, just let it flow... AND YOU'RE GOOD TO GO!

Do the same for any sport that involves a lot of cardio.

Oh, and if the chaadra is a problem for you when you need to go, just bunch it up and hold it in your mouth.

Another great drink, which may even be better than water, is tea. Green, black, oolong, all are good. Just don't add anything to it. No milk, no sugar, etc. Some studies are showing that drinking several cups of tea daily can improve your endurance.

The best part is the looks you get from other people in the rest room (usually audience members), who're like what the quang is he doing?

Regarding water: BE CAREFUL. Consuming TOO much water is not good at all for your body and excessive amounts can be poisonous.

Yeah, you're right. I should have mentioned that. Hyperhydration can kill. So make sure you're eating properly too, and taking in reasonable amounts of sodium and potassium. Eat oranges & bananas!

you can also cramp up on stage, thats a horrible position to be in.
