How much time or how long would you say it's not necessary to drink while running competitive pace in cold winter days? Up until an hour run? Hour and a half?

I usually drink my urine, it's a closed system of purity.
Hour and a half at a minimum.
The idea of needing to run a "supported" long run makes me cringe.
If it's cold...I can run 3 hours with not water. Summer 2 hours with not water.
You can survive for 3 Minutes without air (oxygen) or in icy water. You can survive for 3 Hours without shelter in a harsh environment (unless in icy water) You can survive for 3 Days without water (if sheltered from a harsh environment) You can survive for 3 Weeks without food (if you have water and shelter)
I don't even get thirsty in 2 hours running in winter.
Physiologically speaking you're water needs are greater in very cold temps. just food for thought.
if it's too cold the water will freeze in your cells
In the winter (temps in the 25-45 degree range where I live) I run for up to 16 miles or so without drinking and I don't feel thirsty.
In the summer I run very early in the morning when it's still reasonably cool. At 65-75 degrees with fairly low humidity I don't go more than about 10 miles without water and I'm thirsty by the end. For longer runs during the summer I make sure to have a source of water every 5 miles or so.
cool story bro

I don't think she is a bro.
As for the subject, I go 2 hours and not worry about water. Ran a trail race last month and didn't drink anything for almost 2.5 hours.
Today I took water because I thought I was going to run longer. I drank 12 oz but only ended up running 2 hours. It was 70 degrees.
