Some say drinking pickle juice is a Polish holistic remedy for hangover symptoms; I say it sounds damn delicious.
"This is a helpful hangover cure because pickle juice contains vinegar, water and sodium," says Pace. "The sodium acts as an electrolyte, which helps with dehydration. Pickle juice may not help with other hangover symptoms, such as upset stomach, but it will definitely help replenish your body."

Former editor and pickle-and wine-loving Tiffanie was quick to volunteer for this hangover cure experiment. One morning, after waking up with the hangover trifecta -- headache, nausea and sluggishness -- she takes a swig from the ol' pickle jar. "It's not like I haven't drank pickle juice before," she explains. "This wasn't my first rodeo. So for this purpose, I thought, why not do more?"
How much is more? "Like, half the jar. It was so good! Yeah, I felt great right after that. I also had a pickle. I just like pickles."
Among our hangover cure experiments, Tiffanie's endorsement of pickle juice is the most resounding. "I would totally do it again," she enthuses. So there you have it, folks. When a boozy night leaves you in a pickle, just hit the juice.
