If you drink something that is about the same ionic concentration as your blood, you can absorb a lot of it safely.

If you drink something much much saltier than your blood it will pull water out of your blood cells.

If you drink something with very few ions it will hydrate your blood cells, but drinking too much can burst your blood cells as they try to absorb to much.

That's why I only drink units of whole blood. On average, the under-hydrated and over-hydrated people that contributed to that unit cancel each other out, so I know I'm always working towards optimal cell hydration. Never to much or too little.
