I'm always thirsty and can't stop drinking?

I'm always thirsty, I will drink anything liquid that's good to taste. I will drink a 6 pack of soda during a night's sleep. I drink even more on a daily basis. Why can't I quench my thirst?

You may be sweating excessively, or it could be psychological, but the most common reason for polydipsia, which is what you describe, is diabetes. You should see a doctor and find out.
