I'm an 29 year old guy.I'll always do my best to give well considered and sincere advice - give me your best shot. P.S. Don't be afraid to ask me private questions, I rarely spend a lot of time answering non-private questions.
o.o There is apparently a FORUM for me if you would like to talk about random non-advice stuff. Take off your shoes!

why do you burp and get the hiccups.
And then someone gave you a simple answer... :)
Hiccups are spasms of the diaphragm, which cause you to involuntarily draw a sharp breath, "hic". Unfortunately the hiccup can also cause you to swallow that air, or the spasming might even have a "burping" (like patting a baby) effect on your stomach.
You swallow the air, or your stomach is settled by the movement of your diaphragm (ok, so I don't know about that one, but it sounds possible) and this causes you to need to burp.
Oh yeah, one last thing. Sometimes; well actually all the time when I drink carbonated drinks, I get the hiccups. If you're drinking a carbonated drink at the time, then it's the drink makin' you burp (Carbon dioxide coming out of compression inside your stomach).
