The truth is, too much water and not enough salt can kill you. Most people know that dehydration can cause serious health consequences. What most don’t realize is that too much of a good thing — WATER — can also be dangerous, even deadly.

I'm not sure how much it would take to kill someone, but when stranded at sea they say not to drink the salt water because it can dehydrate you faster than not drinking anything at all, and being severely dehydrated can kill you.

it would take a LOT sodium overdose isnt that hard to do but to do it with salt water would take you some time depending how much salt went into the water ... trying to kill yourself on a sodium overdoes just go for some pure stuff.... oh yeah i guess i should tell you not to kill yourself

I think it will make you feel real sick and you would end up throwing it all up.
As the other lady says hope you are not thinking of ways to top yourself?
There are some wonderful things to experience in life.
