Sounds weird but I've been trying to drink more water lately and often, after I've just had a bottle or large glass of it, my throat gets dry and I feel even more thirsty than before. Does this happen to anyone else? What could be an explanation?

I love when people give obvious answers to questions. Of course you need water to live. God, reading that answer made my head hurt.

I can't give a scientifically correct answer but it could be because now that you're drinking more water, your body is more dependent on it. I've been drinking a lot more water than I used to this past month and whereas before I could live on a glass of liquid a day now I get thirsty within half an hour if I don't drink more.

Of course water is needed to live, and I'm sure seawater is not being drunk! I doubt the dissolved mineral status of the water is the problem either, because the same thing happens to me with tap water as well as Fiji or other bottled brands.
I used to be an avid coffee/diet soda drinker and have recently switched to water, and now I notice that after I drink water I feel more thirsty than I did before! My mouth and throat feel drier, and I feel really thirsty.
I wish I knew what causes this, but it was helpful to see that one person seems to find this happening less and less as they drink more water.

Hi,
I have the same problem. I never drank water. If I just drink soda and juice and coffee all day I am fine. I decided to try and drink water because everyone says its so good for you. If I drink a bottle of water my mouth drys up and I am extreme thirsty. It seems the more I drink the thirstier I get. I am going to ask my Doctor what he thinks. If I find out why I will let you know.

This used to happen to me also, I used to drink a lot of caffienated soda, then it seemed like anytime I drank water it would make me more thirsty. I have kicked the soda habit and now I drink mostly water, milk and some juice. It doesn't seem to me like this happens and more. I do still crave the carbonation of soda but I choose to drink non-caffeine drinks. I don't know what the explanation is but I know what you mean when you say it makes you more thirsty.

Water should quench your thirst. Our body is made up of about 70-75 percent water just like the earth. We all need Living Water.

I don't think the water is going to make a difference. Perhaps the air where you are is dry?
Diabetic folk are always thirsty - are you diabetic?

I drink a lot of water, but have never had that problem. I've never even heard of it.

You are diabetic. Get to the doctor.
A sign of hidden diabetes is extreme and unusual thirst.
Or just have a cold can of beer.
