How to Get Rid of the Hiccups

I don't know why it works or if there is an easier way. What I do know is that this has NEVER not worked for me when I've had the hiccups.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Hiccups
• Glass of water

1. Fill a glass with water. A plastic cup works best for this.
2. Hold cup in your mouth in between your teeth.
3. Now comes the tricky part. You need to hold both your nose and your ears closed at the same time while you drink the water. I establish this by using my left thumb to close my left ear and my left pinkie to hold my left nostril closed. Repeat this on the right side with the right hand.
4. Next careful tip your head back and drink the water while holding closed your nose and ears. Drink at least four swallows and you will be hiccup free!

Tips & Warnings

• Only fill your glass about half way. That way you won't spill it when you tip your head back.
