In general, almost all of us tend to drink too little, or because we do not pay due attention to the thirst stimulus or because we postpone the satisfaction of a primary need for trivial “laziness.” And that’s a big mistake, because our body needs. Of regular fluid intake to function at its best. Sometimes, however, there are situations that make the thirst so strong and constant that it induces drinking much more than it should be. It may happen occasionally after a meal that is too salty or abundant or when the weather is very hot and dry, but also in the presence of various diseases, from kidney failure to diabetes. These are the cases of persistent dry mouth and need to drink that should be brought to the physician’s attention.
