Why can't sea water drink?

Besides the fact that it is not delicious, drinking salt water also makes you thirsty. But some animals can handle salinity in seawater.

For example, if you take a few sips of seawater, your body will need to emit more water than you drink, to get rid of all the excess salt that makes you thirsty even more before drinking.

Seawater can be reduced to reduce salt content to a level that is drinkable, but technology requires a lot of effort and money.

Some animals have been given unique ways to deal with saline problems in seawater. For example, large albatrosses have special salt glands right behind the eye sockets. This route will collect all the salt in the water they drink and release it into solution through their head.
