O.T. What's your hiccup cure?

This always works for me.

Drink 10oz of water, nonstop, keeping your elbow above your ear.

It's an asophoghus, (sic), thing.

    Look no farther- plug your ears and drink a fair bit.  It can be challenging to do by yourself if you don't have help to plug your ears or have a straw- but seriously works every time

    For whatever reason I used to get them a lot. Fresh vinegar. About a shot's worth. It's the only thing that works for me.

    I hold my breath for as long as possible and then let it out very slowly
  • Concentrate on breathing and focus on not having hiccups. Kind of a Zen thing, but I tried t ince and it worked, and everyone ai mentioned it to thought it was stupid, then tried it, and it also worked. 

    In through the nose and out through the mouth, slowly. While reminding yourself you don't have hiccups.

    Dude.  Hiccups really are not that bad.  The cure should not be worse than the disease.

    This also may sound stupid, but it has worked for me for years! Take a small juice glass and fill with ice cold water. Place a heavy handled dinner knife in the glass blade end down. Hold the knife handle against your temple and quickly chug-a-lug the water. It WORKS! If you are a non-believer then it really helps if you have someone "yelling" or encouraging you to drink FASTER!

    @henapple uses the same cure for "the sun is up".  After 12-14 hours it works every time.

    spoonful of peanut butter (followed by chocolate if you have it ) :) 
    The chocolate is just for grins, the pb usually does the trick. 
  • Teaspoon of sugar, sounds weird but it does work

    I would just like to know all the other things you tried before you got to this cure.

    I used to use a fork, but kept getting a stabbing pain in my eye.

    Don't tell your problems to people.  80% of people don't care and 20% are glad you have them.

    Truthfully, I find sex is the best cure.

    I grew up with the advice from my parents to hold my breath as long as I could and then exhale deeply and suck in another and hold. Seems like eventually that no longer worked after say age 30 or when I was told and became a believer of the knife against the temple in the glass a of ice water!

    This...but after you hold your breath as long as possible swallow a couple of times, and let the air out through your nose.

    2nd vote for peanut butter.    Works every time.   The chocolate kicker doesn't hurt either.

    Drop some acid and drink a fifth of anything 80 proof or greater.  Crawl under your desk with a Colt 45.  When you start seeing giant hairy bats, start shooting at them.  Make sure you're alone.  Works every time.
