The only method I know, and I don't even know if this works, is to gulp down water while upside down.

I think that's called waterboarding?

I'd say drink water and take really, really gulped breaths.

Once, I literally had hiccups for nearly two hours on and off, despite doing all I could to rid myself of them, to no avail. Not fun.

Apparently a man hiccuped for sixty-eight years.

Decapitation. Kind of makes it hard to breathe, but it'll get rid of your hiccups.

Joking aside: A friend taught me this remedy years ago. It works without fail for me:

Inhale as much air as you can (or really close to it) and hold your breath.
Wait 10 seconds.
Without releasing the breath, inhale a bit more air and continue to hold your breath. (Yes, I'm aware this kind of contradicts the "inhale as much air as you can" bit. If inhaling more is completely impossible, restart by inhaling slightly less air.)
Wait 10 seconds.
Again, without releasing the breath, inhale a bit more air and continue to hold your breath.
Wait 5 seconds.
Release breath and resume normal breathing.

I can't remember any time it hasn't worked for me. That said, I do know someone it doesn't work for, so don't sue me if it fails.

Important Note: I no longer - in any way, shape, or form - consider myself a moral nihilist (even in my old, convoluted definition of the term). I very much do believe there is such a thing as objective good and evil. In addition, I apologize for any of the posts I've made that are rude, aggressive, or otherwise unbecoming.

I've always striven to walk a path befitting a follower of Christ, and now recognize some of my old comments here as misguided if not outright wrong. If you happen upon them, pray do not let them darken your view of the God I serve. He is kind, even if I, at times, have not been.

drink from the glass of water from the opposite edge of the glass. Works every time.

So you have to bend over to drink it, use your top lip as the lower sealing lip.

Guarantee it will work.

idk about you but the closer a girl gets to looking like ronald mcdonald, the more aroused i become. CAV

where can we cast our eyes to @PoruMairu who thinks of himself a member of the true church. Helion.

There's two ways to solve it.

1) get a rope, hang yourself
2) Drink bleach

The only way I've heard that actually works is to put a finger in your ass, no joke. Never tried it so can't confirm. Also waiting really long and suffering usually does the trick for me.

Hold your breath for as long as you can. Do as often as necessary.
For me it usually worked after 1-2 tries.

Yes, holding your breath works. This is what I always do when I have hiccups.

Or you can try the well known trick LOL
Ask someone to scare you XD

Drinking water usally helps me. Luckily since my hiccups can be very hurtful.

I stop my breathing for as long as I can, if it didn't work for the first time, then I try again.

It will stop, eventually so don't worry.

Also, just drink water until you're perfectly fine. Or, I don't know if this is going to ruin your mood, but try asking for someone to scare or startle you. (IE, while walking to your room, your friend/relative suddenly shocks you behind your back)

If God exists, then he should try extending my deadline right now!

Plug your nose and have a big drink of water.

It's always worked for me all my life.

That's literally the only thing that works for me and it's actually so weird to do because it feels like the water is going to go up your nose or something.
