Usage notes

[edit]
  • Although this normally implies that you would like something to drink, it can be used in a more general sense to imply that you need or really want anything very important, as in "I am thirsty for money". Using "I am thirsty for a drink" is redundant (tautological) unless "drink" is being used to mean "alcoholic drink".
