So i was drinking some alcohol tonight and i started getting the hiccups.
And i searched www.wikipedia.org and it basically says that hiccups are just a mental reaction. So if you do something while having the hiccips such as swallowing 3 times while holding your breath gets rid of them. And in my case got rid of them. But other methods are breathing deeply thinking "breathing in," "breating out," might work or blowing up a balloon or induce sneezing.
Everytime before I have had the hiccups I have taken a sip for every letter while reciting the alphabet. And it has worked before.
But making the swallowing motion while holding your breath seems to work extremely good because my hiccups are gone.
