"Drinking water backwards." And no, I'm not talking about an enema.
Say you have the hiccups.
Get half a glass of water. Bend over at your waist like you're about to pick something up off the floor. While bent over, rest the glass against your upper lip and drink the water.
Poof Hiccups gone instantly. I know it sounds insane but it works.
I’ve heard at least a dozen guaranteed methods for solving hiccups. At this point I’m convinced it’s all placebo, including the method that works for me reliably.
If you must know…
You hold your breath with a mouth full of water, plugging your ears, swallowing very slowly. Hold your breath as long as you can and take a few deep breaths after.I agree that most all of them are borderline placebo, but I'm pretty positive that some combination of breath and water lies the cure.
My go-to for curing hiccups is just taking little sips of something and pausing in between

I once had a really long running bout of hiccups, like more than a day and it was really draining on me and I was very tired. I looked myself in the mirror and said "you don't have hiccups any more" and they stopped immediately.
Tried it again several times since and it never worked again but for that brief moment I was invincible.
