Read This, Be Smarter: You Are Drinking Too Much

Pickle juice helps relieve the symptoms of post-exercise cramping but there's no evidence it helps ward them off. The beneficial effects don't seem to have anything to do with body chemistry, it's probably neurological. Potato chips do nothing for cramps but they do taste mighty good, especially after gatorade.

Speaking of chemistry, what happened to Tex? Did he get sent away?

IME, if I've had a hard day working in hot weather, I drink pickle brine, no cramps. I do the same and not drink the brine, cramps. n=1.
