I used to alternate drinking water and holding my breath to stop my hiccups.
Worked every time.
Eventually I discovered that I could stop my hiccups by whatever trick I believed would work.
And of course, it followed that I should therefore be able to stop them without using anything.
It only took me a couple of tries to teach myself how to do that.
I have tried for years to convince my wife of this, but she still can't do it.
She puts her finger behind her ear to stop hers.
My way works much better.
