Forget all the old wives' tales about getting someone to scare you, or drinking water from the far side of a glass. This is the only cure for hiccups that has consistently worked for me:
- Eat a spoonful of sugar. Dry. Without water.
This really works. If you feel you need to, you can drink water or some other liquid after the hiccups have stopped.
Disclaimer: while these hints are the result of years of experience and/or lots of research, in the end they are just my personal opinion. If you try something I suggest and it doesn't work, please don't sue me &mdash I guarantee nothing. Best of luck!
