I can't because my MTB doesn't even have the space
for a single water
bottle of decent size. Even the bike dealer where I
bought is said
"WHAT?? How could they now have that?". So I mounted
one holder on
the
handlebar (I have a bike with a cup holder now!) plus
modded the rear
section for some heavy duty longhaul schlepping.

Naah, under the down tube, maybe even on top of the
down tube close to
bottom bracket. And you could fit a real keg on top of
the top tubes.
Under the downtube it gets dirty with horse poop, cow
poop, bear poop
and dirty water, plus rock hits. Above there isn't
enough space for a
decent size bottle, 28oz and such.
I used to carry two bottles on a carrier that mounted to
the seat
rails and held the bottles behind the seat. There are
also carriers
that mount on the handle bars and as a last resort I've
carried
bottles in the pockets of my cycling jersey.
Real men prefer handlebar cages:

That is similar to what I have on my MTB, except more
upright like a cup holder in a car. _Very_ practical. Not
having to reach down allows me to take a quick sip even in
situations where you cannot control the handlebar
single-handedly for long.
I'd also have that on my road bike and might some day.
However, that's where the MP3 player already resides and the
bar is so narrow.
I always wondered why Bartali had such a lame career.
Imagine what he could have done with a vacuum tube radio and
a B battery:
