how long could I drink sea water..

[doomey!]

for with out going more insane?

Or is that just a myth?

[tommy666]

lol... more insane. U cant get anymore insane. but a normal person would probably eventually go crazy through ?dehydration?

[andy-hughes]

Yes, ea water will dehydrate you pretty quickly due to the excess salt which your body cannot absorb. The result may nbot actuallt be clinical insantiy, but you would suffer halicinations.

there was a story about a battle ship that got sunk and the surviving crew ran out of fresh water and so started to drink the sea water. the started to become paranoid and actually started to kill each other.

This INSANE beaviour could have been induced by a urinary tract infection. Sepsis in the body can cause the most 'normal' and lucid person to become aggitated and to hallucinate. Urine infections would easily be induced by dehydration 2nd to drinking sea water.
