Question

Why is that when I drink water, I feel thirsty afterwords sometimes?

Answer 1

How often is sometimes? It happens to all of us from time to time. Sometimes it can be because you are really dehydrated. Even if you drink a couple of glasses and feel full if you are dehydrated your body will still make you feel thirsty. Sometimes maybe you are fighting off something, even if you don't feel sick, and need the fluids.

If you drink a lot of alcohol or caffeine then they both dehydrate you so it can seem like you are drinking a lot. You not only need to replace the water they take from you but the water you were replacing to begin with.

Answer 2

Because your body is dehydrated and when it gets a little bit it's almost like it realizes it needs more after that...keep drinking water and once your body is hydrated again then you will not get thirsty anymore!  

Answer 3

this is quite normal dear... it happens even to me coz as u drnk water.. your intestines absorb zem for the metabolism in your body and as you feel thirsty mre quickly this means zat ur intestines and the metabolism of your body is funtioning well!!! you dont hav to worry abt zat, its quite nrmal!!!

Answer 4

your body is telling you it needs more water.  you may have been dehydrated for many different reasons (exercise, caffeine, alcohol, eating too much salt, etc).  the average person needs at least eight 8oz glasses of water a day.  you will need more if you exercise, have caffeine, alcohol, eat too much salt, etc.

if you are having the symptom of always being thirsty then that is another story, it could be an indication of Diabetes and I would recommend you speak with your doctor.

hope this answers your question.
