What's the best way to get rid of hiccups?

[Bootylicious!! 2]

A spoonful of sugar works for me. I'm not really sure how many people actually want to eat a spoonful of sugar though.

This works for me every time.

We all have cures that we swear by, what works for you?

Holding my breath.

I have tried this and it actually works....

Jeff Goebel's World Famous Hiccup Cure

SURPRISE! Every hiccup cure is the same hiccup cure.

Although you may have your favourite cure, you'll soon discover they're ALL based on one magical technique. You can try whatever silly cure you've been told works, and then you sit there eagerly waiting to see if it worked.

Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. However, if you REALLY concentrate on seeing if the cure worked, it will. The cure isn't the act of drinking water upside-down, or holding your breath, or being scared. The REAL cure is the wait AFTER the trick cure that is the real cure.

So I just did away with the trick part of the cure. When I start to hiccup, I stop what I'm doing and concentrate on waiting for my next hiccup. It never comes. The WAIT is the cure.

Anyone can mentally think away their hiccups.

Really. It works, perfectly. You may not believe it till you try it. My guestbook is filled with thousands of people who were amazed.

As long as I can really concentrate on waiting for my next hiccup, without distractions, it works every time. It only ever fails when I'm distracted, and then I just try again with success. I never ever hiccup more than 2 or 3 times. EVER.

For beginners, or for very young children who may have difficulty with the concentration aspect, it may be easier to use some fake trick cure to assist in this concentration. Use whatever cure you've tried before, but remember to stress how important it is to concentrate and WAIT to see if you're cure worked.

I've had success with getting people to say "beep" just before their next hiccup. This gets people to concentrate on waiting for the never arriving hiccup without actually realizing it. At first, they may miss them, and hiccup a few more times, but they'll be frustrated at missing the BEEP and try harder. The harder they try, the better it works.

This method has been used with 100% success in the grade 3 class a teacher friend of mine, and I've received hundreds of emails from all over the world. My guestbook is filed with comments from amazed people who are no longer hiccupping. I believe this site now appears as #1 in Google under Hiccup Cure. I have been interviewed on radio, web blogs and in print. NEVER HICCUP AGAIN!

Hold my breath for a minute while drinking a very large glass of water.

[broma25 2]

We always drank water from a cup from the opposite side of the cup.... (not from side the one closest to you) YOu have to lean over to do it..

Always worked for me! I did it here in the US and my USC hubby looked at me like i was nutters!! I think it's the concentration (probably same idea as the 10 sips thing)..

This one usually works for me too!!

Oral sex...

Getting or giving? hehe

Hmmm....'giving" oral with the hiccups...

now that could be....interesting...

LOL reminds me of this experiment that said having sex cures headaches

and here's my recipe for hiccups, grandma's recipe

a spoon full of equal parts of vinager and sugar (bet you've never heard that one before!)

something about the acid taste of vinager first and then the sweet that is very effective, works everytime for me

A blow in the face works for my son.

[Krikit 1,165]

If you gently squeeze both sides of your neck, just above the collarbone and on either side of the larynx, that works. Just be careful when doing this to someone else because you may cause them to pass out.
