I’ve tried many things before, but in the past couple days I’ve found that eating a packet or two of mustard tends to get rid of hiccups.

What sort of tricks do you folks have?

      There’s something about focus or attention. If I hiccup, as soon as I realize it’s happening it stops. If I’m drunk I might not notice for a bit and the hiccups will continue until I can bring my will to bear on them.

      You can also just memorize and recite this, comes in handy for more than just hiccups:

      I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
