I am sure you do this already but it's worth mentioning....
Freeze bottles of water (or other non carbonated beverage) and use it as a supplement to the ice you need for drinks. I freeze a gallon jug and use that instead of buying a block if space permits in the cooler.
If I have extra space in the cooler after it is packed, frozen bottles of water will fill that space. Pull one out and drink it as it melts.
