Hiccups???

So I have had the hiccups for the 7th time today!!! Un-freaking-believable!!!! I don't think I can tell you how bad I hate having the hiccups!!! They have to be by far the most annoying body quirk known to man!!! If I have them for long enough, I end up getting a headache. UGH!!!

So I did a little research on hiccups... They are an uncontrollable contradiction of the diaphragm. There are like a million things that can give you the hiccups; from swallowing to much air (that seems a little obvious to me), consuming to much alcohol and eating to fast. I have been binging on root beer and vanilla meringues (which are like 90% air) this evening, so problem solved... NO more meringues.

However I swear that I have tried all remedies to get rid of my hiccups. I have held my breath multiple times, drank small sips for water quickly, drank a glass of water through a wash cloth, and even tried drinking water upside down. Oddly enough, drinking water through a wash cloth seems to do the trick. My question for you is, what works for you? Am I missing any super duper trick to get rid of these obnoxious bodily quirks???

I'm off to bed y'all... Goodnight!
