Penguins, actually drink any water they can get access to - both fresh or salt. On land, they access any fresh water source (including falling rain, which they get from their feathers, like preening)

With regard to salt water, the Penguin drinks that as well! Special glands around the eye sockets, extracts excess salt from the blood. The excess salt is excreted as a salty fluid via the nasal passages. Which is why, Penguins seem to have a runny-nose sometimes.
