Hiccups Occur Only After A Pub pint

    Can any-one explain this... I have for the last few years only drank cans of beers and never go to pubs for a pint, gave pubs up a while back.

    This morning I ended up in bettystown up by Drogheda on a sunny days trip out with the mate and decided to pop-in to a pub and purchased a beautiful/amazing pint of Guinness, absolutely the best pint I ever tasted.

    I walked in the door when I arrived home and hiccuping non-stop for an hour while getting the weird eye look from folks here.

    My question is this... why is it that I can drink 18 cans of beer 4% in one night with never a hiccup, but once I have one, only one pint on its own I get the hiccups ? Only one pint and I'm hiccuping for and hour.

    What the hell is in those pints of guinness ?

    Ok. so, basically I am one of the lucky ones that only had them for 1 hour... Nine fcuking years that guy has them, far-out, that would be complete torture. Walking around hiccuping for an hour is not nice.

    Well it seems that I'm the light-weight regarding hiccups. Nasty fcukers they are, hold your breath for blah blah blah amount of minutes ? yep you just pass out doing that, so no wonder you don't get hiccups after trying it. It's only with pints.

    Maybe it's the gas input into the pint from the kegger, but never a pint again. They should just sell cans of beers in the pub and give you a pint glass together, then no-one will have this hiccup scenario.

    Hang on a second. That second video of the girl that hiccups for 3 weeks straight ? As soon as she went to talk, she wasn't hiccuping any-more. Amazing. All she has to do is to keep talking non-stop for ever and she will not hiccup again. That's the way it looks to me. She only hiccups when she is not talking. Amazing stuff indeed.

    When I smoked it often happened to me that Id have a pint and go for a smoke and then end up with hiccups. It can be changes in pressure or changes in temperature or other things.

    Plenty of Iron

    Hence why you probably have to drop a few black kids off in the toilet the following morning

    But if that is the case, then why does this not happen with cans of beer nicely chilled while smoking and leaving an inside bar to outside with different air pressure differences ?.

    It is always the pint that causes this for me any way. I am just curious as to exactly what part in the pint causes this. I never get this with cans of beer in a pint-glass.

    Any-one with a scientific explanation for this ?.

    Myth I'm afraid.

    A pint of Guinness contains 0.3mg of iron which is only around 1/30th of the RDA.

    so what you're saying is we should all drink 30 pints of Guinness a day?

    I know someone who can't get hiccups because they have a paralysed diaphragm!

    There's a guy I work with that hiccups nearly on the hour every hour. He sits quite the distance from me as well and it's quite aqudible.
    It's always just one single hiccup as well.
    He has just done it while typing this up.

    I'm actually in hibernation mode at the moment in regards to the odd 18 cans of beer. I'm a sipper, I'm a dipper, and a real night toker.. A person that can drink 18 cans over the space of 18 hours away.

    A beer an hour keeps the blue devils afar.

    So your saying you have never had a black shiit after a few pints of Guinness or at the very least a few lethal farts? What sort of creature are you?

    that's the problem with Guinness. After two pints of that stuff of which tastes very nice chilled can gravitationally forward the innards to the ground.

    It takes a real man of strength to hold the wobbling squeaking belly farting effects together. Otherwise the person would explode internally. It is worth it drinking it for the cool taste and effect, but later there is a problem of unacknowledged uncontrollable fartificous ejections.

    Drinking Guinness for over twenty years and never had any such problems.

    Are you sure that's not just something that occurs if they are washed down with doner kebabs?

    When drinking Guinness in a glass I think it helps to keep lips pretty close together.

    I found that if i drink it with my mouth as open as I would with other drinks, I drink too much of the head too soon and my stomach starts to feel bloated.

    I suppose that could cause hiccups too.

    How else are you supposed to drink it in fairness? Osmosis?
