Drinking a glass of water/soda (whatever). Swallow 11 times without breathing. Works every time. I hate having the hiccups.

I used to do a head-stand against a wall and drink a glass of water upsidedown. *shrugs* Now I just chug a glass of water.

Sounds like a plan... to drown, faint or break a leg. I had the worst hiccups ever, it was like someone punching me in the gut forty times. They just went away.

I haven't had the hiccups in years, but my son gets them a lot and I found one thing that ALWAYS stops them. I just make him stand in the room in front of me and anyone else around and demand that he hiccups for us. All that ever happens is he blushes and laughs a little before walking away "cured". I haven't got a clue why it works, but I picked it up from an old English teacher in high school who claimed it had never failed her in 40+ years of teaching. :lol:

I have tried them all and never found a sure way that works every time.

It must be different for each person. You could always have a phrenic-ectomy. You'd never have hiccups again :p
