When you drink a regular glass of water, most of it is absorbed by osmosis through cells lining your small intestine. If you drink salt water then salt is added to the blood stream and your blood then becomes hypertonic to the entire solution (meaning is has more solute (salt) than normal), and your cells will lose water because your body is trying to dilute all that salt. So your cells will lose water and shrink.
