In Spain, it is common to go for 'cañas' (small beers) when one has thirst in the afternoon, making 'tengo sed' a social invitation. In Mexico, 'aguas frescas' (fruit waters) are the traditional way to quench thirst. If you say 'tengo sed', someone might offer you a 'jamaica' or 'horchata'. Hospitality is key; even a stranger might offer you a glass of water if you express that you have thirst in a rural area.
