If you’re described as a tall drink of water, or a a tall glass of water that’s a good thing. It suggests, especially for men, that you’re good-looking. A little more than a century ago, that phrase suggested a person was bland and boring, but it’s much more positive now. This is part of a complete episode.

I live in eastern NC, and in the context that I've heard someone is "like a tall glass of water", it meant that the person was refreshing or new/novel. Like a drink on a hot day. :^)
