i worked for me

Where I come from the most common cure for hiccups is a well-placed intestine punch, but an easier way is to take an ordinary (wide brimmed isbetter) drinking glass and drink from the far side of it. No idea why, but it works.

Ok, this works guaranteed!

Take a large glass of water, fold up a paper towel in half and then again in half the other way. Put the paper towel over the glass of water and hold it on tightly. Then drink the water through the paper towel as fast as you can! And presto, the hiccups are gone.

Since hiccups are a reflexive involuntary contraction of the diapham, you -could- reset the nervous system aka knock them out. I ask you have you ever seen a sleeping person with hiccups? Exactly. xD

I've used this for years and have even gotten it to work on others, when I guide them. Yes, a hiccup-annhilating guide am I. Here's the process:

1. Take in as DEEP of a breath as you can take and hold it.
2. Hold it until the time of the hiccup repetition passes (varies) and keep holding until contractions have stopped
3. Exhale SLOWLY. If it helps, pucker your lips like you're going to whistle. Whatever your method, it just has to be done slowly.
4. Once lungs are empty, inhale SLOWLY until you've taken about a normal amount of air in.
5. Start breathing normally.

If anywhere along the way, you feel your diaphragm contract, stop the process. Take a few normal breaths and start over.

If that fails, eat a spoonful of peanut butter, providing that a) you're not allergic to peanuts and b) peanuts didn't cause the hiccups in the first place.

Attempt at your own risk.

A solution that never fails:

1) Place apple on head
2) Have friend fire pistol at apple
3) Check your pants
4) Change pants

Hiccups gone!

This always works for me:

1. drink a large gulp of water but don't swallow.
2. hold your breath and look at your toes.
3. while doing #2, swallow the water in 7 small gulps (7! no less).
4. hiccups will be gone :)
