Dry Mouth

I drink a good amount of water on daily basis so I can't uderstand why I can't seem to shake the "dry mouth" affect. I was searching online but all they talk about is this being a result of medicaitons, dehydration and/or nerve damage. I don't have any of these problems so I'm at a lost. Does anyone else have this problem? What do you do for it?

    it is typical if you have diabetes... or perhaps your house is too warm and you don't have evaporators...?

    There might be a very simple answer here...are you a mouth breather or nose breather? Breathing throuh your mouth tends to dry you out more...
