Here is one use of the expression:

Make no mistake. Credit card companies want to suck you dry. Check your statements, check them often, and follow up quickly when you notice something is wrong.

If somebody sucks you dry he sucks the life blood out of you. Example:

Be careful! He's a leech. If you give him half a chance he will suck you dry.

Another example:

Your common energy leeches include, your computer monitor, the constant barrage of phone calls, or your boss giving you stress on the latest deadlines. This sucks you dry leaving you empty and ready for a night in doing nothing but feeling sorry for yourself. When you don't go and do your workout, you'll feel even more deflated lowering your energy levels yet further.
