Constant thirst can be an early sign of diabetes. It can also be a sign that whoever cooks your meals is using too much salt.

How long has this been going on?
Sometimes, you will get extremely thirsty at certain times in your life just because your body happens to need more water at that time.
Try to think of all the possible causes of this. For example, have you been drinking enough fluids lately? Have you eaten anything recently that you don't normally eat that you may be having a reaction to? Have you increased your normal level of activity/exercise? Have you dramatically changed your diet? Have you been adding too much salt or preservatives to your food? Are you feeling well (if you're coming down with something, your body might need more fluids at this time)?
There are a number of reasons for increased thirst; don't panic and jump to the conclusion that it must be something serious right away :).
If the thirst persists for more than a week or so, you should probably see your doctor.

I'm NOT going to tell you about the connection between 'thirst' and diabetes ... but I am going to WARN YOU that if you 'drink too much' you can actually 'drown' yourself by the drinking. You may be 'coming down with something' and your 'constant thirst' is your 'body' trying to 'fix it' because drinking water 'thins' the 'germs' and helps flush them out through the urinary tract. IF YOU DRINK MORE THAN 6 Liters of WATER a day, though, you could get into real TROUBLE ... so if your 'thirst' lasts LONGER THAN 24 hours you need to 'see a doctor' first thing tomorrow morning. Better in your case to be 'safe' than 'drowning yourself' when what you 'really need' is an antibiotic or some 'prescription medicine' to help you 'fight the germs' in your body. If you can't just 'walk in and see your own doctor' then you should go to any emergency room and 'sign in' ... they'll either 'see you' or send you to a 'clinic' that day ...

Constant thirst is a sign of trouble. Sometimes diabetes. You should get to your doctor for a thorough check-up.

Diabetes does come to mind, but thyroid disease can result in unbelievable thirst too.
You must see a doctor if your thirst persists.
