No more hiccups? Yep. Our medical system and big Pharma finally came through for me... Hiccupozac 30mg warning: side effects may include hallucinations, incontinence... Slurred speech, tremors and uncontrolled salivation. Yeah! But I'm totally over my hiccups!

There is only one real cure for hiccups. I’m not sure why doctors don’t tell more people about it. The water thing is only partially correct. Put a paper towel over a glass of water and drink the water through the paper towel. Don’t cheap out on the towel. there are enzymes in the wood pulp that equalizes the CO2 and oxygen in the body and the relief is pretty much immediate. As long as you’re not doing this all day there are no side effects from the chemicals in the paper towel.

Makes me think of a party game called Bad Medicine where you make up medications for symptoms, and then the side effects of those medications becomes the symptoms of the next. It’s like solving one medicine’s effects with another.

Now you know why, when you see those magazine ads for some spiffy new wonder drug, you can turn the page and see the next 2 pages filled with fine print warning you why you shouldn’t take it.
