    Certain ailments that are more common as you get older can cause less thirst.

    Some medications can cause foamy saliva.

    And the reason why when you get older, more stuff going on with your mouth is you can loose feeling in the lips so it’s not as noticeable to you in that you can’t feel it.

    And you’ll note that I said ‘you’. cuz we all age and you and I and everyone in this post are not exempt from getting older as we speed through the time dimension. It’s not just something that happens to an entirely separate alien species we all just refer to as ‘they’.

      That’s very optimistic of you, as not all of us will reach old age. I’m probably not gonna make it past 60. We shall see.
