Question

I was extremely thirsty at the beach and there was no water founatin or anthing so I took my boyfriends pail, filled it at the ocean, and drank some of that...

I feel fine but is that bad? I know it's kinda gross but besides that

Answer 1

the salt in it will dehydrate you worse then if you had no water that is why people stranded on the ocean can die of dehydration

Answer 2

Well considering the fish/animals/people that pee and p**p in the water and the sand particles floating around ya i would say its un-healty. Oh and quick question. Why does your bf have a pail? Is he like 5?

Answer 3

you sick f^ck!

Answer 4

yes it is very unhealthy to drink salt water especially from the ocean.  

Answer 5

You get thirsty when you are dehydrated... Salt dehydrates you even more.... Why the h**l would you do that?

Answer 6

Absolutely its bad.  Salt is only ok in very small doses, large amounts (like found in seawater) is basically poison.  Next time bring water with you.

Answer 7

the little bit you had would be ok but if you drink to much it will kill you slowly and very painfully

Answer 8

it is very unhealthy people have died from drinking to much saltwater.if you tried to live off of it you would die
