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?

This is a symptom of diabetes. Please see your doctor.

May be diabetic or have other endocrinopathy. See your internist
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.
