When you drink seawater, a high concentration of salt finds its way into your blood vessels. As a result, you have a higher concentration of solutes (salt molecules, in this case) on the outside of your blood cells than in your blood cells-- there is a hypertonic solution on the outside of the blood cells. Your body wants to keep solutions isotonic across the membranes-- that means your body wants the same amount of free water molecules on the inside of the blood cells as the outside-- so water molecules move out of the blood cells in order to keep the balance of free water molecules. The water moving out of the blood cells cause them to "crenate," or shrink, which is of course not very good for your cells.

Can you die from drinking glue?
You can certainly die from drinking glue, but in most cases you would vomit before you got a fatally toxic amount of glue into you. You have to recognize that "glue" covers a very wide range of adhesives that have a wide variety of components. Glue made from old horse hooves will probably make you puke long before you could eat enough to kill you. Trying to drink the components of superglue (cyanoacrylate based adhesive) would cause significant damage to the esophagus to the point of potentially causing fatal bleeding. A bigger risk would be fatal asthma from the fumes. Many glues contain very toxic solvents which can kill a person on their own. Certainly if a person aspirated some of the glue when they were drinking it, they could choke to death on it.
