Help How viable is it to die by drinking a lot of table salt with water?

[Migraine]

As the title says, just how viable is it? And how much salt would be required for it to "work"?

Nope.

As someone whose tried this 3 times in the past, don't even bother. You will just vomit or end up in the hospital. I'm sorry to disappoint ya :(

Too much salt in water is a laxative. Unbuffered salt taken by itself in any large quantity will make you throw up. I have accidentally done both when I was trying to increase salt intake due to a chronic health condition.

The body is very good at regulating the balance of sodium/electrolytes and water. This is not something I would bother trying to explore.

Yep, that's right
