I actually once used about 100-200 grams of salt in a drink as part of a competition. Not very smart, but peer pressure will make you do stupid things. Long story short, the result was an abrupt expulsion of salt, the drink, and what was left of my lunch into the nearest container about 5 minutes after consumption. The body is very good at recognizing when you've eaten something you shouldn't have and will correct it as soon as possible.
