why is it so wrong to drink pickle juice?!

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

It's not so much wrong as it is not healthy.

On occasion a chug or two is kind of okay but if you drink all the brine from one jar of pickles you are getting more than one days worth of sodium if not two or three.

You probably get bloated after drinking it right? That is because of all the sodium you have taken in.

Yes you heard right "Ah Pickle Juice". It is becoming a favorite among sports players. It has been found to help reduce cramps in athletes, whether racing bikes or playing football, or whatever kind of sport
you partake in, pickle juice is being recognized more and more as a drink that will give you more electrolytes than the more popular "ade" drinks. In fact 30 times more than PowerAde and 15 times more than Gatorade. Preventing dehydration is a major factor in any sport, and with the salt content along with the acetic acid, it has been found that pickle juice is much better than isotonic drinks that contain citric acid.

Why does it help so much? Pickle juice contains salt, calcium chloride and vinegar, in addition to flavorings (dill, bread & butter, etc). And don't forget the cucumbers which play an important part in the effects of pickle juice. So, with all these ingredients mixed together you can't go wrong.

I personally have been drinking pickle juice for many years to help settle my stomach or just when I don't feel all that great. Getting past the taste, for some, is going to be the real challenge, but there again, personally I enjoy the taste. When I buy pickles I usually buy the largest container of pickles I can find. It is more economical and you get a lot more pickle juice in the larger container, comparatively speaking.

Mom told me that when she was young, grandmother would give her vinegar and honey when she had an upset stomach, which is basically pickle juice with a sweetener. So I guess those old home remedies are better than you could imagine, and they have been around for a very long time.

You should never throw away pickle juice. There are so many uses for it. It can be used in salads, marinades and other recipes. And for you drinkers out there, it is great for hangovers, for the same reasons it is good for athletes that sweat a lot. It gives back what the body has lost or/and needs.

My Mom always told us kids that pickle juice will dry up your blood. I really think now the reason she told us that is she didn't like dried up pickles. I didn't listen... I drink it whenever I get the chance.

It's LOADED with salt. It's not juice, it's brine.

That is a lot of salt. It also makes your breath stink.

if u like it then thats all that matters!! enjoy ur pickle juice!!
