I have a 8 yr old beagle. That can't seem to get enough to drink, frequent urination and is making snorting sounds. Any idea what may be causing this?

This could be from diabetes, Cushings disease, kidney problems, liver issues etc.
If the dog is still eating well or seems even more hungry than usual for a beagle it might be diabetes.
You can read about Cushings disease a problem with the adrenal glands here

and about diabetes here

You need to have your pet examined by your vet and maybe do bloodwork etc but the problems that can trigger this usually can be treated.
