Should evaluate: Various medications cause dry mouth, which is often perceived as thirst. A rare possibility is diabetes insipidus. In this condition, the kidneys fail to concentrate the urine, creating excessive urination of mostly water. People with this condition need to drink large quantities of water to keep up with losses. Urine and blood testing, usually by a nephrologist, can help make this diagnosis.
