If all a drug addict does is sit around being high *for days* how don’t they die from dehydration or starvation. Does heroin suppress the bodies’ desire for water and nourishment?

They usually die of an OD or illness long before they starve to death.
Essentially, not eating weakens the body and, along with the drugs in their system, this results in them falling ill and dying of related illnesses like the flu or infection or their heart fails.
Lots of times they do!
They look like walking skeletons and often appear decades older than they are
Their life expectancy is very short unless they get clean
They eat just barely enough to avoid literal starvation, that is malnutrition instead.
Malnutrition can cause starvation. Malnutrition can also be the catalyst for other causes of death
Just because you’re a drug addict doesn’t mean you don’t eat. There are plenty of fat drug addicts. You’re talking about someone, who is near the end and is probably going to die, if they don’t seek help.
