How does the body get rid of excess salt?

Why do fish drink salt water but humans can't?
Actually, only salt water fish can drink salt water (not fresh water fish), as they have ways to get rid of the extra salt in the water via their gills, specialized salt glands, etc.. Here is a key principle - our body fluids have a very narrow range of osmolarity, meaning if we get too 'salty' or on the other end, if we are too diluted - we could die for various reasons. If we drink water with more salt than our body fluids (or other solutes), we need to get rid of the extra solutes, and the only way to get rid of it is by water and that water comes from our existing body fluids. Salt water fish are not the only ones that can deal with drinking salt water, as some land animals, like seagulls, have supraorbital salt glands above their noses to get rid of a very concentrated salt fluid - that's how they can drink ocean water without losing their existing body fluids. Sharks, skates, rays, and some reptiles etc. can do this too.
How do salt water fish get rid of the salt?
Saltwater fish have special cells in their gills that actively pump out excess salt ions through a process called osmoregulation. This allows them to maintain a balance of salts inside their bodies despite living in a high salt environment. Additionally, they have efficient kidneys and excrete concentrated urine to further regulate their internal salt levels.

If a mammal drinks large amounts of salt water what will this do to its urinary output?
Due to its evolutionary descent from fresh water fish mammals get rid of excess salt by flushing it out with excess water. (Fresh water fish always had excess fresh water that was in need of getting rid of, so that is the method they developed and mammals inherited.) If a mammal drinks salt water it tries to get rid of the excess salt by excreting excess water and slowly dehydrates itself to death.
