Muscle cramps are usually a sign that you need salt ... electrolytes. Pickle juice is mostly the brine that is used to "pickle" the cukes or whatever. Not really dangerous unless deeply overdone. Likely self moderating (so you don't go too far), too. But you never know how much salt you're getting and whether it is just NACL or if other salts were used (less common). Some home remedies suggest eating potato chips ... which is essentially the same effect, but more palatable (again, moderation!) to some... or other salty foods. Margarita rims are not a recommended salt source. Wink! Gatorade is mostly water, salt, and sugar, which can have the same effect. PediaSure and similar products are more expensive, but are formulated to perfectly balance the needed chemistry for the human body. All of these come with the caution: do not overdo it. Triathlons, marathons, and other such events often result in people being hospitalized who drink only Gatorade and no water. This can be life-threatening.

Ditto endurance athletes who drink substantial amounts of water without electrolytes. People have died of this. My favorite "snack" was watermelon with salt!
