Answers:
you will dehydrate!. Are you planning your suicide or something!?!?!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Drinking salt water is not a good idea for the reasons already mentioned as well as the fact that most salt water has not gone through any kind of filtration system and may not be clean!. The more salt water you drink, the thirstier you will become so it has no thirst quenching benefits no matter how thirsty you are!. Drinking salt-water leads to dehydration, continuous drinking of this water leads to severe dehydration, which can lead to death!.

First the metabolism system goes haywire trying to hydrate the body with every water molecule available, which can cause the rest of the body to stop functioning properly!. Once dehydration sets in, the body becomes vulnerable to seizures, comas and even brain damage!. In the meantime, the excess salt is being carried to the kidneys that cannot handle the load and eventually shut down leading to death!.

However, there are now many people who believe that drinking salt water can detoxify the body and cleanse the intestines!. Some even boast of the healing effects of salt water in the body!. They may not drinking water with high quantities of salt in it such as sea salt water but they usually add salt to boiled water and perhaps lemon to cover the taste!.

There has been a long standing tradition of gargling salt water to heal sore throats but now there are claims that drinking salt water can provide pain relief throughout the body!. Obviously, anyone using this type of treatment would not intake enough salt water to become dehydrated but any detoxification plan should be followed with caution!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You'd probably kill yourself!. I don't have a solid smart estimate, but i'd be it'd be at least doubly as fast as a waterless diet, so probably 3 days max!.

You'd probably start feeling dizzy, tired, lose even more water to sweat, eventually do delerium, syncope, ketosis and eventually your body will fry out and you'll die!.

Many people die out at sea or when stranded when they get desperate and start chugging salt water!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You'd be very sick very quickly!. Your body is fairly adept at not letting you die from stupidity, I mean, from drinking salt water!.
So I guess the speed of things depends on:
time it takes you to give up and cut off your own head divided by the time it takes your mummy to come in, turn off your My Chemical Romance record and tell you to clean up your vomit before dinner!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Not only will it be a slow, painful death, but you'll probably hallucinate, your tongue will swell, your kidneys won't function properly, you will retain fluid between the cells of your body, your heart will beat erratically, and you vascular system will shut down!. Doesn't sound like much fun!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Three days without water = dead!.

So if you drink saltwater you'd die quicker!.
Except you can't stomach that much salt so you'd just throw it up anyway!. It's the body's natural reaction to salt water!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
