1) Red blood cells placed in placed in distilled water cannot reach equilibrium so they will lyse due to osmosis.
2) Water you drink is assimilated into the body through the gut...it doesn't just hit the bloodstream or any other unprotected cells.

Can you show the diagram of the overall flow of water in the red blood cells?
Water is the only molecule in your body, which can move freely in the body cells. The movement depends most of the time on physical need of the tissue. When you are thirsty, water may become less in red blood cells. When you drink water, water enters the red blood cells. Most of the times water that enters the red blood cells is replaced by same amount of water. I hope that you can draw the diagram, now.
What happens to a humans red blood cells if they drink saltwater?
Red blood cells will swell when placed into a solution of pure water. This is due to the osmolarity. Normal blood osmolarity is around 310 milliosmoles. The osmolarity difference when putting the red blood cell from blood into water will cause swelling of the cell. Osmotic pressure will be driving water from the environment into the cell in an effort to create equal osmotic pressures in the two environments, the cytoplasm of the red blood cell and the water solution. Ultimately, the too much water will flow into the red blood cells and they will inevitably lyse.
