1. I think the ancient physicians prescribed leeches for this, and when the Vikings got
hiccups they just drank a bunch of mead and set off to invade England again

But today we know it's a diaphragm spasm, so the proper treatment is to show your diaphragm who's boss. Put on some screaming acid rock and sing along while jumping up and down playing the air guitar. If the neighbors call the cops: (1) tell them you have the hiccups and ask them what to do; (2) don't mention my name cuz they said if they never heard it again it would be too soon

3. Here's what worked for me before.
Take a small spoon full of sugar and swallow it before it dissolves.
