Drink even more so you don't relize you have 'em... Ha Ha Ha.

A sure way to cure hiccups is to jam your fist down the infected person's throat and quickly open and close your hand several times.  It relaxes the vega nerve.

An oriental method that works on 95% of people is this- standing, lower your chin down to touch your chest. Grit your teeth and breathe in until you can't take in anymore air. Hold it until you cannot hold it any longer and then exhale slowly through your teeth that are still clinched. All this should be done with your chin still on your chest.

Most people can cure them by doing this one time...some take 2 times. I've had this cure hiccups that people have had for days. I've only ever found one person it wouldn't work on.

Drinking from the other side of a glass always works for me.

Sounds frightening doesn't it? LOL
Not quite so risky as Sock's method though. http://www.heimlichinstitute.org/maneuver.html

I find a good hard blow to the abdomen normally does the trick, e.g. telling Mike Tyson he is soft and he can't hit you v.hard in the belly button hard!

Well, how about a scientific logical approach to a simple problem ?.....here is what I was told, although I don't remember the exact words, it goes like this........

The actual situation which is happening is a stutter in the synchonization of the semi-involuntary rib cage expansion and the inflation of the lungs.......basically they are out of synch.......its a simple matter to put them back on their timing by this method......

Most people, when they fill their lungs, suck in their stomach muscles but the reality is, is that this is backwards......what you need to do it push out your stomach as you breathe in deeply........slowly........then as you exhale, you need to pull in your stomach ......slowly.....

What this does is to re-align the involuntary timing of the entire process, by getting the diaphram ( lower rib cage cover ) to pull down when you breathe in and to rise when you breathe out........its these things (suck in/stomach out...slowly -- blow out/stomach in...slowly)which will, after two to three breaths, begin to go into their own involuntary sync .......

I very rarely hiccup 3 times and never 4 times unless I want to piss off Wendy with the noise. First thing out of her mouth is " Breathe  Damnit ! ".......then I laugh and get rid of them........

It's nice to know I'm not the only diehard fan left out there.
