If you ask 100 people what they would recommend for a hangover cure, it's pretty likely you'll get 100 different answers. Some of them are rational and require you to drink lots of water throughout your drinking escapades, while others tend to err on the side of oddities like drinking pickle juice.
Wait, what? Who would ever recommend you drink pickle juice for a hangover? None other than current Hellyeah drummer Vinnie Paul. In a recent interview with Texas-based radio station 94.5 FMX (below), Paul recommended the classic Pedialyte cure alongside the unconventional method we've already talked about.
"There's a couple of things. There's two things that would really do it for you. Obviously, the one that people are pretty aware of that we've been doing for years, which is pedialyte [the electrolyte-loaded liquid, which is given to dehydrated babies]. It definitely has about, I don't know, ten times the electrolytes of Gatorade or anything like that.
"[Drink] a bottle of that and that'll get you back on the right track. And then, to me, even a more immediate cure, which I discovered that I really love, is pickle juice, man. I don't know what it is, but something about the vinegar gets up right up to your muscles and rehydrates you and gets you back going. I drink almost a bottle of pickle juice every day, man, and it keeps me going great."
If anyone in the comments section is well versed in the art of hydration and general nutrition science, I would love to hear a reasonable argument for this one! It just seems like such a strange choice. More importantly, when did Paul figure out this works? Pickle juice wouldn't be the first thing I'm going for in the fridge after a long night of drinking.
