hahah. I have someone scare me lmao .. but sometimes that doesnt really work cause im usually not scared - just drink alot of water and stop thinking about it.. or try holding ur breath! =)

What I do to get rid of the hiccups is drink a lot of water if it still does not work later I drink some more.I don't drink any fruit juices or soda until like the next day.To avoid this from happening again you should not always drink too much of those drinks but more water though.

One teaspoon of sugar (level or rounded) always works for me.
Either that, or one packet of sugar, whichever's handier.
Hope this helps!

People usually suggest other methods such as trying to become really scared or drink water, but those normally don't work for me. Only 2 ways do.
1. Hold your breath and take a drink of water. The combo of the two methods somehow tend to work a lot for me...
2. Do something else. Something that requires a lot of attention, like a video game, and take your entire mind of hiccupping. Usually, that gets rid of them.

[I have hiccups now!]
Hiccups are caused my your diaphragm (the muscle that helps your lungs regulate your breathing) is temporarily off-wack with your lungs. It sortof spasms, but it's uncomfortable because your diaphragm is pushing your lungs up when they're going down. That means your diaphragm is trying to get you to inhale while you're exhaling. Different things work for different people so try one of these :
- Drink water slowly
- Eat peanut butter (it works, but I don't do it cause' I hate peanut butter)
- Exhale deeply, and hold your breath until you feel the hiccup coming on, then try and breathe with the hiccup.
- Breathe deeply, slowly. << I just used this to get rid of my hiccups. And it worked.
- Get someone to scare you. (Doesn't work for me)
One of those should work.
That was so funny, cause' I was hiccuping as I read this question! Haha...

Different things work for different people, so you may need to experiment.
Hiccups happen when your diaphragm (a muscle at the bottom of your chest that helps you breath) gets temporarily out of whack and starts spasming.
So you need to find some way to reset it, basically. Most of the things that people have described here have a good chance of working for you; the goal is to stop or slow down your breathing, safely, in order to allow your diaphragm to get back in rhythm.
For myself, taking a few deep breaths, expelling all air from my lungs, and then drinking a large glass of water usually does the trick. I don't try to drink it non-stop, but try to be drinking at least little sips as often as I can; when you're swallowing, the diaphragm usually doesn't spasm.
Good luck!

Everyones always like hold your breath but it hardly ever works, pour a glass of water, cover the top with a washcloth and chug it- almost always works

eat peanut butter. it's a little known fact. but it works.

millions of ways. one is to drink water with your head upside down[thats the only way I can get rid of them] two get someone to scare you and three breathe in deeply and hold your breath and swallow, and finally one of my favorites..when you have the hiccups...try to hiccup right on the spot. yeah those are the ones I have learned..try them if you need to.

drink a lot of water or sing singing works better than saying your abcs but saying your abcs work to
hope i helped

Stand up straight, look down at your toes, and count backwards from 100 to 1. I swear, it works!
