When you get the hiccups, what do you do to make them stop? I usually drink water, sometimes it may take 2 or 3 glasses but sooner or later it works...my brother on the other hand gets frustrated anytime something doesn't work the first time so he just does nothing and gets mad every time he has them and growls like that's going to do something about it, rather than try something a second time. If I'm not within the vicinity of a glass though, I try holding my breath which is not as effective but I suppose within enough time anything is possible.
