    Boo!


    Hiccups are the worst. They hurt so fucking bad :(

    Um... hold your breath and drink more wine?

    Holding your breath is meant to help. Nothing works for me though.:(

    i always get hiccups and they are sooo annoying (mine are really loud), i know you have gotten rid of them....but for future reference try drinking from the opposite side of a glass. Its the only thing (if any) that works for me

    having just tried it with my glass of wine, in effort to practise both simba and amira's methods, I'd say you have to bend your head down or get wet.

    thats the point, your meant to concentrate on it going into your mouth not all over you.

    ETA: you people are useless....look at the pic and follow the directions! (i know its crap)

    I always find holding my breath for 60 seconds does the trick.

    Try concentrating on getting your index fingers as close together as possible without actually having them touch.

    It makes you relax your breathing and diapraghm and thuse stops your annoying hiccoughs...

    Holding your breath works for me.

    I also heard one about being scared makes you stop, I thought it was bullshit but I did get a right fright once and they stopped. It was weird.

    The only real way to get rid of them is to block your ears with your fingers and down some water, I'll guarantee that it will work.

    I always find flexing backwards, thus stretching the diaphram, helps me. But then I hardly ever get the hiccups.

    get someone to say to you 'i'll give you £5 if you hic-up again' works everytime!
