I'm a fan of eating a lil sugar or holding my breath and swallowing. I get hiccups a lot and they always hurt like heck. :(

I haven't had the serious hiccups in a long time...like years and years. I might get ONE hiccup after eating spicy food, but that's it. (I think the sugar does help.)

Re: How do YOU cure the Hiccups?
 

Stop complaining if all you got was the hiccups. Your dad gave me the herp.

Isn't ONE hiccup a burp?? How do you distinguish the two??
:confused:

After the first hiccup, hold your breath and stay perfectly still for as long as you can. This usually works, but if it doesn't, the drinking water backwards thing can help, but it only works for me if I drink as much water as I can without breathing. Sugar can work as can drinking about a shot of bitters with a lime (which tastes like ASS but works).

Hiccup story
 

Once in second grade I had the hiccups while taking a spelling test. I was really bad at spelling (and still am, as you may note), so I was cheating on this test, copying the words from the inside of my desk. My teacher came around, noticed me and slammed her fist hard on the top of my desk. I jumped 10 feet. I thought I was caught. I looked up at her frightened, and she smiled. "See? No more hiccups!"

Pinch your nose shut and drink water until you feel a drowning sensation, then release. They should be gone.

I also second the peanut butter idea.

A burp is air leaving your body. A hiccup is a contraction of the diaphragm or something. Two different things.

Thats too funny! The same was done to me except I was older! LOL!

A teaspoon of granulated sugar. its disgusting, and I think thats what takes my mind off the hiccups and allows then to stop.

My sister gets the worst hicups, ever. Tis so funny, casue her 3 year old son gets them real bad too and he sounds just like her when he hiccups.
