I have the hiccups
Been going on now for 15 minutes. Any way I can get rid of them?

2. Take a tsp. of sugar.

Eat is slowly. Honest, it works.

on edit. Put the whole tsp. full in your mouth but, eat it slowly.

3. I can testify to this one...
...I kept saying "No way!" but when I actually tried it, it worked. Don't know why.

4. Here is another trick that works:
Half-fill a glass with water. Then, put your lips on the rim of the glass, not where you usually put them but on the opposite side, the side farthest from you. To drink the water, tilt your head forward. The water should touch the roof of your mouth and the back of your throat as it goes down.

Does this make sense?

5. 9 sips orf water without breathing
either rightside up, or upsidedown, like athena said.

6. Get a bottle of water. Drink it upside down.
Three good swallows ought to do it. Remain upside down till you've had all the swallows and the hiccups will stop.

And you don't need to do a headstand to be upside down. Just bend over at the waist.

It's easy and works every time. The sugar thing only works once in a while with me. But the water upside down works every single time.
