There are many places in society where burping would be rude or inappropriate. Therefore, you would need to either stop the burp or suppress the need to burp.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Stop drinking carbonated or gaseous drinks.

  2. Step 2

    Close your mouth tightly if you feel a burp coming on that you cannot stop. By closing your mouth, you are preventing the air from escaping and avoid the horrible sound a burp makes. Once you close your mouth, you may also want to turn your head and put your hand over your mouth also for extra added protection.

  3. Step 3

    Eat slowly. Eating quickly will cause you to burp more quickly.

  4. Step 4

    Leave the room. If you absolutely need to burp and feel that you cannot hold it, then excuse yourself and leave the area. Go off and burp, then return to your party. Be sure to say "excuse me" if anyone hears you burp.

  5. Step 5

    Take an anti-gas medication. This medication will help your body eliminate the gas that has built up in the stomach and will help you suppress the burping. Many good anti-gas medications can be purchased over-the-counter at most drug stores. Carry some anti-gas medication with you everywhere you go for added protection against burps.
