Ive heard a romor about salt water...?

Question

If you drink salt water, do u achually through up a salt dolphin or what ever? What happens if u drink salt water if that doesn't happen? Give me proof.

Answer 1

No, you don't.  Who told you that?  Drinking salt water dehydrates you.  Do some research on osmosis.

Answer 2

Thanks for asking this question. I knew it could kill you..but I didn't know all the other stuff they said. "Water,Water EVERYWHERE....and not a drop to drink!" Have you heard that saying?

EDIT..P.S. It's spelled "rumor"

Answer 3

well, for proof, you drink yourself some saltwater and see what comes up.

Answer 4

No, that's not true. You would get dehydrated. Haven't you ever heard of osmosis? The salt absorbs the water through osmosis (the diffusion of water particles) thus changing the water in your body from high concentration to low concentration. And a low concentration of water in your body dehydrates you.

Answer 5

Have you ever had anything *really, really* salty (i.e. Pizza Hut's stuffed crust pizza)?  When you ingest a lot of salt you become dehydrated.  That means water isn't going where it needs to go and your organs can fail you.  When you drink water to quench your thirst it replenishes your supply.  If that water has salt in it your water supply will not be replenished and you will die of dehydration.

Answer 6

I don't think so,  But if you try it tape it and post it on youtube! I'll watch it!

Answer 7

If you drink salt water, you might throw up, but it certainly wouldn't be a statue made of salt...it would just be the salt water coming back up (where do people come up with this stuff?).

In the long run, drinking salt water actually causes more dehydration than not drinking anything at all.  Additionally, it often causes the drinker to lose their sanity - they will hallucinate to the point that they end up doing something dangerous and dying from it.  For example, people stuck on the ocean will jump in, believing that they are on land, or that they're close enough to shore to swim (even when the shore isn't visible.

Answer 8

drink enough and you die.

Answer 9

what happens?

depending on how much, and what else you eat or drink, you die.

unlike dolphins and whales, your body cannot rid itself of excess salt.
