What can salt water do to you?

Salt water has a certain amount of salt and it would make you have a stomach ache and vomiting is very likely if you were to drink more than 2 cups of salt water. Too much salt water can make you hallucinate and act differently than you were before you drank the water. Or it can make you say things that you normally wouldn’t say.
Salt water is not something that can be drunk without purification of boiling water. This is because the amount of sodium in salt water is too great to be drunk like a cup of water. Humans can't drink salt water because the kidneys can only make urine that is less salty than salt water. Therefore, to get rid of all the excess salt taken in by drinking salt water, you have to urinate more water than you drank, so you die of dehydration.
