I know that sounds really gross but my husband was just eating a pickle and i totally want to drink some of the juice...Is it possible my body is trying to tell me it needs more of something such as salt?

It is unlikely you actually need MORE salt/sodium, since most of us get plenty of it (or even too much) just in our daily intake.  But go ahead an have a little.  It will likely satisfy some type of craving you are having, which might prevent you form 'cheating'.  I would only have like a tablespoon or so.

My sister used to drink the juice left over when a jar of pickles was gone.  That was a little excessive, IMO.  But I like it too, in moderation.  I will even add some to my homemade salad dressings.  That or caper juice.

LOVE me some capers!

It could be worse, BTW. 

I am craving Stoli Blueberi!  And before someone jumps on the post, NO, I DO NOT have a transfer addiction.  Just worked hard tonight on housework and extra thirsty.

AND YES. I know denial is the first sign of a problem... LOL

LOL Julie - don't know why but that one really hit my funnybone!   I must have a transfer addiction too....

and on the pickle juice - I completely LOVE that stuff.  But only usually Farmans or Heinz.           ;)

Is Farmans a local brand?  Have not seen that one in the stores.

I love capers too, something about a little salty tangy bite that just makes me happy.

 OH MY GOSH.  I am SO glad you posted this... I thought I was the only one!  The jar of pickles beckons me night and day.  I kid you not.  Sure, the pickles are good, but the JUICE is what I crave!
