Hiccups

ARGHHHH...

I've had hiccups for around 2 hours and it's driving me insane, any tips that actually work? What causes hiccups? I'm double-hiccuping now..

Hold your breath as long as possible. Works for me.

Don't think about them. Take your mind off with something.

Drink a cup of water from the WRONG / far side of the glass, like lean over and drink it. This works 100% for all i have seen

My Mum always made me try and hiccup, although sitting waiting for it doesn't count (infact it's cheating which defeats the point). If you try and try, it just doesn't happen.

Yup I 2nd this, play a game or something you can get into and try as hard as you can to not think about the hiccups. Then when you think about them again, they will be gone!

As said you just have to take your mind of it.

Which is why saying something confusing, doing a difficult task, getting scared etc etc all work.

Can't think why you would try and make yourself hiccup.

Because when you try you can't!

Teaspoon of vinegar, savage, but it works

A pint of coke and a few mentos mints.

Burping.

put some music on and do something to take your mind off it, they'll go away.

The edit wasn't a very clever idea now really

aye, sorry.

yep. drinking a cup of water backwards cures them straight away.

Lean forward and tip it towards your neck, then drink
