What are your remedies to cure hiccups?

Sadly, this didn't work on me.

Get a huge glass of water and chug it slowly. It'll force you to hold your breath, plus sometimes drinking water helps anyways.

I have a friend who had killer hiccups one time, nothing was working.
Finally i told him "just hold your breath until you pass out, it'll work" (we were both intoxicated)
oddly enough he did it and it worked, although he had a kill headache when he came round so not the best cure

Anal sex. I bet you think I'm kidding.

And in case there's any confusion, you must be on the receiving end.

since a hiccup is basically when your breathing is out of sync, what clears it up for me every single time is this:

1.) take a deep breath and hole for 10 seconds
2.)release and hold for 10 seconds
3.)step 1 again
4.)step 2 again

that always takes care of it for me.

Fvck, I was having hiccups all morning. I had a sandwhich and a pop for lunch and now I am cured.

 

[dennilfloss]

I just sneezed and they stopped. Go figure since sneezing was what started them.

My wife swears by sugar water.

I go with the hold-my-breath thing myself.

Drink water while standing on your head (or while in any position where your head and torso are inverted). Seriously works EVERY time. I've never had it fail.

A lot of the remedies have one thing in common: they trigger the gag reflex.
Straight to the point: tap your uvula (the dangly thing at the back of your throat.) Bamm. No more hiccups.

Correct! Anal massage is the only tested confirmed cure.

As weird it could sound, try a teaspoon of white vinegar on a sugarcube and eat it. 100% successful

Hold breath. Works once out of twenty times so I just end up letting it continue and swearing after each.

 

[richardycc]

don't laugh, but it works 99% of the time, a friend of mine told me this ancient chinese secret. just apply some pressure with your fingers in the soft spot in the center of the back of your neck, just where your head connects to your neck, you hiccups will go away within seconds.

Yeah, i just bend forward & drink out the the opposite side of the glass as you normally would. Works for me every time.

BOO

I use a kind of meditation where I relax and force myself to breathe regularly and try to maintain control over my diaphragm.

 

[Pho King]

Go to a door frame, raise your arms so that you're touching the top part of the frame, lean forward and arc your back - this always works for me

So you might as well just hold your breath right? I'd rather not deal with water just in case I hiccup in the middle or I suddenly spit water all over the place.

 

[neutralizer]

Hold your breath as long as you can.

 

[YoungGun21]

Just drink water. You don't have to do anything special either. Just drink atleast half a glass of water.

 

[Splork]

A spoon full of sugar. I don't know why it helps, but it always makes mine go away. Plus, you get the benefits of a sugar rush.

Holding my breath for 30 seconds works two thirds of the time for me.
