With practice, you won't have to stop to eat and drink. It's not like I stop every 5 minutes! I'll only stop at the sag stops on organized rides. On my local rides, I'll stop every hour or so to look around and take a little break. Eating and drinking while riding is a very important skill to have if you plan on being on the bike for any length of time and remaining bonk-free.
