Usually by the time your body is thirsty, it is already dehydrated. Drinking plenty of water throughout the day will nearly get rid of that thirst response.

What is the best thing to drink when you are thristy?

The best drink to hydrate your body would probably be a sports drink. Though water is the best choice to stay hydrated, a sports drink is more appealing after water becomes rather bland to our taste buds. We may stop drinking water before we actually hit the correct amount for hydration! Though sports drinks may not be as good as water, it does hydrate your body if you drink them in large quantities ...... but back to your question. The best drink for thirst-quenching is definitely water. After a long game, jog, run, work-out, or just as a break between classes, water will quench your thirst. Even if you hate it and want something like beer, coffee, or a nice can of Coca-Cola, don't! Drink water. It's healthy and takes away your thirst. ^^

Can you tell me which soft drinks is better for human being thirst?

Soft drinks DO NOT hydrate you - they do quite the opposite, actually. While water may be the base liquid, there are also other compounds in there (e.g., potassium), which works to dehydrate you. If you want something to quench your thirst and rehydrate yourself, you drink water. If you want something for flavor, and aren't concerned with hydration, then you'd drink a soft drink. But softdrinks is good to, it energizes your body and it improves your body. The best example of good softdrinks is Mountain Dew.
