This always works for me.<br /><br />Takes a glass of cold water. Put a tablespoon in it upside down. Drink the entire glass of water making sure the bottom/back of the spoon is touching your forehead. I dare anyone to try this and tell me it dosen't work.<br /><br />I've done this for years and done it for friends, they can't believe it works either, but it does.<br /><br />You just look a little funny while you're doing it. :)

With tip of your tounge massage the upper pallete as far back as tounge will reach. Always works for me and not near as funny looking as your method LF.

Mrs. QC taught me to drink a glass of cold water from the opposite side of the glass. Really hard, but it works. Sounds somewhat similar to the LF method.

Like QC said, I call it drinking water from a glass backwards and upside down.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />In order to drink the water as described, you put your mouth on the opposite side of the glass and lean forward to drink the water. <br />.<br />.<br />.<br />Sounds funny, but it has never failed to git rid of the hiccups. <br />.<br />.<br />.<br />Disclaimer: Don't do it in front of someone who likes to laugh at odd looking things.. <br /> :D

Touch the back of your throat with the handle of a toothbrush, deep as you can without actually gagging.

Drink an entire case of beer. After that, you wont care that you have the hiccups. :D <br /><br />Ken

Teaspoon of sugar under your tongue until it dissolves.<br /><br />OR hold your breath for as long as you can.<br /><br />None of these mean much, but take yourmind off of the muscle spasm that causes hiccups, allowing that muscle to relax.

I have a photo of Hillary Clinton in my wallet. A quick peak at it scares the hiccups right away :) ;)

I cough and force more hic-ups repeatedly. When my body realizes that I enjoy some then they go away. I hav'nt hicuped in a long time now that you mention it.
