[vonsmog]

Just got home from playing ice hockey and had a few beers with the guys after the game. Now have the hiccups and I want to go to bed, how do I get rid of them???

[Gogar]

Couple shots of whiskey should help.

Smoke some pot, replace the hiccups with the giggles.

Have your wife tell you she's pregnant...scare you !

massaging C4-C5 works for me. (phrenic nerve stimulation)

Unusual but proven studies
You might not be familiar with these methods, but both are backed by scientific case studies.

22. Have an orgasm. There’s a case study involving a man whose hiccups lasted for four days. They immediately went away after he had an orgasm.

23. Perform a rectal massage. Another case study reports that a man with ongoing hiccups found immediate relief after a rectal massage. Using a rubber glove and plenty of lubricant, insert a finger into the rectum and massage.


Other remedies
Here are a few other enduring remedies you can try.

24. Tap or rub the back of your neck. Rubbing the skin at the back of your neck may stimulate your phrenic nerve.

Bend over (nothing to do with #23) and drink a glass of water from the opposite rim of the glass.

[Sooner or later]

Hold your breath for 5 minutes

[red-beard]

Just burp

More beer.

8oz glass of water with a paper towel over the top. Drink as much of the water as you can through the paper towel and your hiccups will go away. It is magical. I have had many kids with many hiccups and this works everytime. I usually make the kids say "I believe" three times before drinking the water but this step is only for my amusement.

That has always worked for me.

A spoonful of sugar dissolved slowly in the mouth works for most people. An ex girlfriend once stated very matter of factly that she would have the hiccups for hours. She seemed a bit miffed when my suggestion of the sugar worked instantly.

Lemon juice. About a teaspoon full. Gargle it for about 15 seconds WAY back in your throat. The low pH causes phrenic nerve override. It’s the only thing that works for me.
