Here are 7 reasons you need to consider drinking pickle juice, and why it's all the rage -
Pickle juice is really popular with athletes when it comes to pre or post workout meals. The body loses both sodium and potassium while sweating during a workout, and needs to maintain the electrolyte balance. The calcium chloride and vinegar present in pickle juice makes the sodium and potassium more readily absorbed by the body”, says Jaibharat. That’s why many athletes swear by it. It isn't so much the high sodium content, but the fact that it can deliver nutrients to your body faster than any other source.
Another reason why pickle juice is every athlete’s favourite pick-me-up is because it helps prevent or get rid of muscle cramps. It works the same way as it would for a post-workout cure, by hydrating the body and alleviating cramping.
Pickle juice is considered an effective home remedy for PMS, as it helps alleviate cramps and also helps curb salt cravings that many women have while menstruating.

I like how they are not cooked, always crunchy, full of garlic/dill and kept in the refrigerator section in the store.
The problem is if you keep drinking the juice, the pickles aren't always submerged, so I keep turning the jar upside down and back every couple of days.
My Ukrainian sister-in-law showed me how to do shots of Russian Vodka (she keeps it in the freezer) followed with a bite of an ice cold Claussen's pickle!
Yum! I think I'd better get to the store and get another jar! More vodka too!
