If you drink ocean water when your dehydrated it makes you even more so. In a hypertonic solution water moves out of the cells because the the particles want to have equal concentration gradients. Since a hypertonic solution has a high concentration of solutes in it it makes sense for the water from a cell to move out so that the environment in the cell and environment outside both have the same concentration of solutes. Human cells shrivel in a hypertonic solution, this kills the cells and can therefore kills you if enough cells can't function.
