absolutely, not sure why you would though? Salt water is DANGEROUS period. Sugar water isn't any more dangerous than than anything else you drink or eat normally.

Salt can be added to water safely for example when making up a cheap alternative to sports drink (just add sugar to water) - but keep the salt to a low level subtle taste, proportion of ingredients is very important here.

Too much salt water places too much of a strain on the kidneys and is dangerous for your health. "Water water everywhere, but not a drop to drink" is the worst case scenario when stranded at sea. If you give in to the temptation to drink it (in desperation to survive) you will actually reduce your chances of survival dramatically and rapidly.
