Humans could not live without drinking. Apart from breathing, drinking is one activity humans must do in order to sustain themselves naturally. In fact, not even eating could satiate the feeling of thirst – if a person becomes thirsty, he must get a drink or else he could perish earlier than another person deprived of food does.
