Have you been tested for diabetes? Excessive thirst is a warning sign.
Probably because your body isn't used to getting what it needs and now that youre paying attention to it more it is telling you to keep doin what you're doing.
Often the body holds on to water when we drink less for fear of not having enough. So....the more you drink the more it get rid of.The body does not have to hold on to it. I remember this from a class I had years ago.
get checked for diabetes...
Not sure how much water your drinking but maybe your just dehydrated chronicly? You may want to makes sure that your taking on enough water and fluids for your weight and life style. If its summer you may just be dehydrated from sweating and cooling. If you have an abnormal hunger for water you should check with your Dr. as it may be a sign of diabetes or other serious disease. Or you could just be thirsty.

I agree with most of your answerers. Please, make an appt. asap with your dr. to get blood work done-check for diabetes. Excessive thirst is a classic symptom.
Also, as one of your other answerers stated, the more you sweat, etc., can cause the thirst as well
Are you drinking at least 8 - 8 oz glasses or 4 1-20 oz bottles of water per day? Or maybe 10 glasses of water per day?
Depending on where you live, the outside temp. etc., and the amount of activity (physical) can affect the need for water.
Regardless, please, to put your mind at ease, get to your dr. asap to get tested for the diabetes.
Take care.
I THINK THE MORE YOU DRINK IT THE MORE YOU CRAVE IT.
Come on, you can ask a better question than that. water is good for you.
You might want to get checked out for Diabetes, because that is a sign/symptom.
