A member asked:
What causes someone to have excessive thirst, even after drinking 1/2 gal water in 30 min or less?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
1/2 gallon - 30 mins: Most likely you are voiding lots of water when you drink that much so quickly. That would make you thirsty again. Cut down to a smaller amount of water and see what happens. Still troubled - see your doctor.

Do diuretics have lasting effect? I would think they would cause someone to become thirsty, drink more, and regain the water weight almost immediately
