I was told to always hold my breath, only works sometimes though. I normally just down glasses of water until it goes.

Dont drink too much, though. If you drink 6 pints of water in quick succession, you die.

hmm, possible easy suicide method.

DON'T KILL YOUSELF WOODWARD!! :cry:

Its quite horrible, though. Its called water intoxication, and basically what happens is every cell in your body gets full of too much water. As they swell, the electrolyte imbalance can cause malfunction in the brain, causing seizures, coma, and death.

I had them for 3 hours, then I drank water upside down and they went away but now theyre back. Ive had them for an hour and they wont go away so Im wondering, what do you guys do when you get hiccups?

hold your breath for a long time, then take a breath and they should go away. you can also try taking a breath, then swallowing.

Cup your mouth with your hands, breathe into your hands and IMMEDIATELEY take a breath (through your mouth) with your hands still cupped around your mouth.

That only happens if you drink it all really fast because I drink 6-8 litres of water everyday and I havent died yet.

Also the main cause of all deaths by people who take the drug: ecstasy.

Back onto the subject of hiccups. No, there really isn't a solid cure. Some people say that drinking water helps, others say holding your breath helps. When you hiccup, it's because of spasms in the diaphragm.. so, I guess you have to deal with it until it goes away. That's what I do.
