Your body produces tears just like it produces new skin cells and red blood cells, etc., unless you are plagued by certain medical conditions where the body stops doing so. So, while it is possible, it is normal for the body to continue producing tears throughout life.
Certain things can make developing "dry eyes" more likely, though. For example, a friend of mine's husband had laser surgery to correct his vision. He was ecstatic with the results, so she eventually had the same surgery. She was less than ecstatic, however, because she developed "dry eyes" as a result. She had to have plastic plugs put into her tear ducts (which, by the way, aren't where your tears are generated but, instead, are the vessels that carry your tears away from your eyes and into your nasal passages) and eventually had to have the tear ducts cauterized (burned shut) more than one time to try to correct the problem.
Her eye doctor told her (after the surgery!) that this happens not infrequently in women who have laser surgery on their eyes after menopause. So, if you're a woman past menopause, be sure and ask your doctor about your risk for dry eyes before undergoing laser surgery!

The probability of such an event where I will stop having tears for the rest of my life is virtually zero. The world will always have some great tragic things or most amusing humuor that would bring tears withou or with great laughter.
But fluid that comes from the inner chamber to the outer chamber of the eye can stop only with some kind of disease that eye surgeons may be able to specify.

Of course not, you can not run out of tears it may feel that way when you cry soo much and you feel you cant cry no more, but over all you can not run out of tears =)

If you don't drink water to replace the tears you cry, you will eventually dehydrate and die - so I guess that would count as "running out of tears."

Normally, no. But in some pathological conditions, tear production may be impaired

the only way to do this is to stop drinking anything at all..thus causing dehydration..which is a lack of fluid in the body
