The kidney is the main regulator of the balance of salts. Sodium causes increased water reabsorbtion in the kidney tubules, leading to fluid expansion and an increase in blood pressure. To antagonize these effects, there is less anti-diuretic hormone released from the adrenal cortex (ADH). Salts thus cause a increase in water reabsorbtion and and increase in water balance. Steven should feel dehydrated and possibly higher blood pressure than usual.

Salt can both hydrate and dehydrate you. It has to do with the electrolytic balance in your bloodstream. If it is too high (too salty) then the body will try to compensate by ridding the body of fluids by sweating - and hence you will become dehydrated. If, however, you are already dehydrated (say in a desert without water) you may have sweated out all the salts that your body needs to balance the electrolytes in your blood, and just drinking water - won't hydrate you, you will need salt too!
