    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.:(
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    Posting this thread seems to have worked for me. I wholeheartedly advise it.

  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    Lol, excelent
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    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

    How on earth do you do that?
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    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.

    lol, put the glass on a table, put your head over the glass and lips on the opposite side. Ten tilt it away from you towards your lips :p

    I still don't get how you could drink that way... :confused:
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    try it. and youtube us your efforts, please?
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    :lol:

    Wouldn't someone get the water over themselves if they did that?
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    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)
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    i get hiccups when i laugh too much..its really embarassing!!
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    I always find holding my breath for 60 seconds does the trick.
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    I had them last night drunk! I smoked, I drank more, just couldn't shift them until someone made me laugh!
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    Holding your breath and swallowing three times is ment to work ...does for me!
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    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...
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    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.
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    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.
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    I always find flexing backwards, thus stretching the diaphram, helps me. But then I hardly ever get the hiccups.
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    drink from the far end of the glass
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    get someone to say to you 'i'll give you £5 if you hic-up again' works everytime!
