I just hold me breath for as long as possible. It ALWAYS works for me without fail.

Holding my breath for ten seconds cures my hiccups

............BOOOOOO!!!!!!!..........

did that help?

i find that coughing to induce a hiccup and then holding my breath before it can escape works sometimes.

death is the only guaranteed cure...

yup - hold breath for as long as possible.... and release slowly!!!

another one that works really well for me is this:
Drink a glass of water from below ur chin.
- hold the glass below your chin - tilt ur head down and catch the lip of the glass so you can drink from it. the more you tilt your head down, the glass is able to tilt to pur water into your mouth from behind.
Kinda like drinking doggy style!
Keep on drinking without stoping.

No idea where I remember coming across it.. but it's worked for me! (just dont let another catch you doing it in the office.... looks weird!!)

Anyone else heard of that... or can discribe it better!! lol!

do a handstand and drink a glass of water......i think the idea is that your so busy trying not to spill the water or fall over that your hiccups go away!!

best thing is to hold ur breath 4 1 minute!!

sickle

block your ears (or get someone to block them or hold the glass) and drink as much water as u can at the same time...worked every time i've tried it...

Take a drink of water, dont swallow it yet, bend over as if to touch your toes, drink the mouthful of water now.

Repeat as necessary, Three or four times should be enough.

Strip off and run through your office screaming 'I'm a little teacup' for 5 minutes, that will get rid of it for sure

What did you have for dinner last night?

If you are near a bar get a piece of lemon, ask the bartender to put agustoura bitters on it and then coat it in sugar and suck it. Someone explained it to me once but it releases the tension in your stomach and cures em - garenteed

According to an article I read, they're not caused by something physical, but more likely by a design flaw in the brain!

Flukey

Drink water and swallow it with your mouth open. Just put your head back and open your mouth as if you were gurgling, but swallow.

Gordon

Relax and concentrate on your body and think yourself to stopping them.

take the biggest breath you can, tense your stomach muscles. now from a sitting position put your head between your knees tenseing your stomach as hard as you can and hold that breath till you feel like your going to pass out, when you feel like you are hold it for 10more seconds and they will be gone.

Hold your breath for as long as possible, but remember to resume breathing when your face starts turning blue...
