Dealing with a VERY dry venue

I don't know how unique this experience is, but we just played a venue (that we play semi-frequently) that I feel like I'm choking on air by the third song.
After playing there a few times, I've noticed that I'm just dying. This last Friday, we had a light show and some pretty heavy fog that I saw had almost disappeared 3 songs in, and even though the fog machine was running the whole time the fog was extremely thin.
Upon further investigation, it came to my attention that the venue was running industrial air purifiers and that seems to be sucking all of the moisture out of the air.
I'm staying hydrated, but I get super dry in the throat and our drummers nose was bleeding by the end of the night.
Is there anything I can do during the show to try to keep my throat moist?

Also, I think that the purifiers in the different rooms are all powered together. The venue side is no-smoking and the cafe and pool rooms allow smoking, so I highly doubt they would turn them off
during the bridge or if you get a gap in between when the band is playing you can take a sip and get back
hope it helps
and take care of your voice
