#1 Best Answer

You can always use "Woodard's cure for hiccups" this is where you get a bucket of water. You stick your head into the bucket of water 3 times and pull it out twice. This process has NEVER failed. If this does not work than i will pay you one million dollars.

Answer

Eat a spoonful of sugar.

Another answer

The cure for hiccups is carbon dioxide. Take a breath and hold for as long as you can. Repeat until they are gone. P.S. Do this sitting down in case you get lightheaded. <>

another answer....I drink water from a cup upside down. Tip your head down, and drink from the opposite side of the cup. Works for me every time :)

The Answer That Has Never Failed

You just plug up your ears (like shrugging your shoulders or pressing that little flap in front of the ear hole) and drink water for about 5-10 seconds.

What I do is hold my breath, and go into a series of contortions for at least 20 sec., then it stops

What I do is stand on my head or swallow 3 times with my mouth closed.

IT EASY AND ONLY TAKES A COUPLE OF SECONDS!

you pinch your nose and close your mouth and try to realse air without opening your mouth or letting go of your nose you should feel the air come out through your eyes and nose it works everytime i do it.
