A shipwrecked sailor is stranded on a small desert island with no fresh water to drink. He knows he could last without food for up to a month, but if he didn't have water to drink he would be dead within a week. Hoping to postpone the inevitable, his thirst drove him to drink the salty seawater. He was dead in two days. Why do you think drinking seawater killed the sailor faster than not drinking any water at all?

Answer:

First of all... Good question

Now, sea water has high viscosity than any drinking water and drinking sea water causes our blood to get thick causing blood clottage and thus killing us within a matter of days.

Hope this was what you were expecting
