Talk:Drinking

Does one eat or drink soup? What about custard? I would have thought the division between eating and drinking is more complex than solid versus liquid --BozMo|talk 15:53, 28 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Where's the article for thirst?
In my opinion there should be a separe article for thirst which includes the psyiological mechanisms underlying the sense of thirst, the variousphysiological triggers of thirst, and any diseases relating to thirst. Additionally, I don't think this is a cohesive article. It reads more like a set of small articles grouped together. Much of the beginning of this article should go into water metabolism.

- Water homeostasis, perhaps. I agree that drinking is the behaviour prompted by thirst, and that the overlap between the two articles should be minimised. Some physiology (e.g. swallowing, peristalsis) and pathophysiology (dysphagia to fluids) would need to be covered in this article, though. JFW | T@lk 22:13, 7 May 2005 (UTC)
