Curing hiccups
Posted on 8/20/09 at 6:52 pm

Eating a splash of bitters on a lemon wedge has cured every case of the hiccups that my friends have ever had since I learned about this trick a few years ago. It works every time, but I'm not sure if it's the acidity in the lemon or just what makes this work.
Anyone else familliar with this?

Nope never heard of that.
But I use peanut butter all the time to cure hiccups. Usually works on everyone.

Curing hiccups
Universal healthcare. Why shouldn't everyone be given the same cure for hiccups?

One time, I had the hiccups for two days straight (long story, don't ask). I couldn't take it anymore and found a method that has worked every time.
You want to simulate drowning by taking a deep breath in and slowly drink a glass of water while slowly exhaling through your nose. Somehow this "resets" or un-irritates your diaphragm.

This works for me everytime. I put my face in a pillow and hold my breath for as long as I possible can, as many times as necessary until they are gone. Usually only takes two or three rounds.
Never fails.

This always works for me ..
Make a bet of value (10 bucks or so) with someone that you WILL hiccup again. Once the bet is made - you will lose the bet but you will not hiccup. Try it it works.
You can also turn this around when somebody has the hiccups and bet them that they will hiccup again. Money in the bank.

I've got bitters in the pantry but who usually has lemons in the fridge. I wonder if lemon juice would work.

Drink a glass of water from the opposet side of the glass
