Why don't we drink seawater?

Ha, simple.

Because it tastes salty.

You are right.

But besides taste, we don't drink seawater because it contains extreme amount of salt.

Which can have dangerous effects on our body.

Really.

Indeed.

Now, normally in our body, the amount of water and salt, inside and outside our cells is the same.

However, if we drink seawater, the amount of salt outside our cells will increase.

Making the outside region much more concentrated.

Hence, to dilute the outside region and maintain balance, inside and outside the cells.

The water present inside the cells starts flowing outside, causing our cells to shrink.

Dude.

This can really have dangerous consequences, right?

Absolutely.

Moreover, to remove the extreme amount of salt, our kidneys will produce more urine.

Making us urinate more water and thus, causing severe dehydration.
