My grandfather helped me in curing my hiccups once when I was very young and this remedy continues to work, for me, to this very day.

With at least 8 ounces of water in a glass, you need to stand erect and then bend over to put pressure on your diaprham and then drink the 8 ounces of water while doing so...once the water has been drank then the subject stands fully erect again...

This sounds like the remedy we have used for years too. My kids used to say, just take a drink of water upside down. Bend over and drink the water from the back side of the glass and when you stand up again the hiccups are usually gone.  It really does work.

I've used that one successfully, but it doesn't work for my husband, who at 82, still stands on his head to get rid of hiccups. It always works. Alexis
