Whenever I take an opiate I get real thirsty. My understanding is that this is related to the constipation issue. Opiates (some more than others) cause your large intestine to absorb alot more fluid at a faster rate. Then your kidneys, thinking you have too much fluid in your system, work OT to 'suck it out' (a technical term, eh?) That gives me a dry mouth and huge thirst. If it's real bad I do get a little bit of a sore throat from being too dry. I just keep drinking fluids - but definitely not alcohol.

My 2cents. Hey, I just noticed: The penny really is worthless. There used to be a cents sign (like the dollar $) on typewriter keyboards. I've never seen it on a computer!
