Should I fret about salt intake as a healthy young adult, or should I only worry if I already have hypertension/some issues/am older?
I usually don't load up on much considering I cook most of my food, but I like to get smoked fish and pickled things often.

thats more of a question for your doctor. the generic answer is yes you should worry about it because a shit ton of sodium is bad for you in general

I eat a shitton of salt, but also drink 3 bottles of water a day. haven't experienced any bad results. But if you don't drink a lot of water, your body will hate you.

Stick this platter in the middle of a table outside on a hot summer day, with tortillas on the side and a couple jugs of cold beer and I'd be in heaven.
If you eat a fuckton of fast food and prepackaged meals, yeah probably.
Otherwise no.

Only three bottles? You should be drinking at least 4, depending on your height... I'm basically at a child height and I drink four a day

If you cook most of your food you're fine. Excess salt is from eating tons of garbage processed food, not from being a little heavy with the salt when cooking.
