Why would salt be more lethal than alcohol? You have a lot of water to displace to deal with it, and you can drink yet more water to do so as it will take a while to effect you.
Alcohol is just poison and the act of processing it does damage. Drinking water to dilute it is less effective as it kills pretty fast.
According to Wikipedia, the lethal dose of table salt is 0.5-1g/kg, not 10 as stated in the post.

Across what dose period between the two? A lethal bolus dose is smaller than a lethal two week evenly distributed dose.
