Equivalently, your end as you have described it here is “to quench/drink” (or more precisely, “to be quenching/drinking”) and your means is “quenching/drinking”. Your end would be satisfied during the action itself (i.e. it is a present-oriented action) and the means and ends are inextricable.

Actually, when I said “quenching my thirst”, I meant removing the uncomfortable bodily sensation (for me, a stabbing pain in my throat), and that happens after I make the decision to send a stream of water down my throat.
