What is a qualification? (If that is the correct name)

In the sentence, "I am thirsty for a cold drink" or "I am thirsty for a hot drink", is the "for a cold/hot drink" the qualification? Is it even called a qualification? What is its correct name?

Also, what is the "I am thirsty" part called without a qualification?

Thanks

There is no special name for 'I am thirsty' that I am aware of. I - Subject am - (Linking) verb thirsty - Predicate adjective modifying 'I' for a cold drink - Adverbial prepositional phrase modifying 'thirsty'
