thirstier
Needing liquid more
Thirstier is the comparative form of thirsty—more in need of liquid, or more eager for something.
Beyond physical dehydration, thirstier often describes heightened desire: The team looked even thirstier for a win after last week's loss.
In slang, thirstier means more desperate for attention or validation, especially romantic: He got thirstier after she stopped texting back.
