I would also suspect that if you drank seawater (even a little) without fresh water available, like pretzels & chips, it would make you thirstier than you would be normally. Then you would probably drink a little more seawater because the first drink made you thirsty. And then a little more, and a little more. And then you die and you don't have to worry about it anymore. <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
