1. Drink bitters by themselves...
or -- drink a glass of water while someone tugs down on your earlobes. No, really, it works!

8. When my mom was in ICU after a major cardiac event involving lots of
people & equipment, she got hiccups and the nurses went nuts. Guess it made the monitor go beserk. They gave her a small spoon of sugar, just plain sugar. Stopped them flat. I have since used that trick with success many times. Bloody awful... the whiskey is better, just never works for me.

10. Spoonful of sugar, deep breath and hold it, drink a glass of
water upside down (the glass, not you!), scare the crap out of yourself, more whiskey.

In that order.

Good luck!

11. Keep swallowing lots of air and force yourself
to belch. Works for me. :-)

Teaspoon of sugar on the back of the tongue. Let it disolve slowly.

14. This works for me every time
Take a big mouthful of water, but don't swallow it yet.
Bend over so that your head is upside down.
OK, now swallow the water.

Always works.
