HOw do you stop Hiccups??

Question:

Answers:
I have hiccups all the time, like five times a day, so I searched the web recently to find the best ways to stop hiccups. Here:

~Distraction from one's hiccup (e.g. being startled or asked a perplexing question)
~Concentration on one's hiccup (e.g. The least embarrassing way to control hiccups is using a psychosomatic method involving 'waiting' for the next hiccup. The key is to attempt to anticipate the hiccup by counting it aloud just prior to it taking place, the aim is to be saying 'one' just as the hiccup occurs. ~Practice with this method leads to the situation where one can simply decide not to hiccup anymore.)
~Another distraction based technique is to count in reverse, eg. from 100 down, which requires concentration.
~Swallowing three times (or more) while holding one's breath
~Eating particular foods, such as peanut butter, Fluffernutter sandwich, chocolate, sugar or honey, Lingonberry jam, wasabi, or vinegar
~Eating a spoonful of granulated table sugar (slowly letting it dissolve in mouth)
~Drinking a glass of water through a napkin placed over the glass
~Drinking a glass of water in several small sips
~Drinking a glass of water "from the far side of the glass", i.e. bending over a sink so one's head is upside-down when drinking
~Drinking a glass of water with another's palms against one's ears
~Drinking a glass of a carbonated beverage (with salt)
~Gulping down a glass of water while holding one's breath
~Drinking a glass of water while raising the right or left hand
~Drinking several glasses of water
~Eating an ice cube
~Drinking a glass of water with a spoon touching one's temple
~Filling a large glass with water and, taking in a mouthful of the water, while holding the water in one's mouth (without swallowing) tipping one's head all the way back, stretching the throat in the process, then opening the mouth as wide as possible and using the throat muscles to swallow the water, repeating until the entire glass of water is drunk using this method. This will not work as effectively if one's stomach is very full.
~Breathing slowly and deeply in while thinking 'breathing out' and breathing slowly and fully out while thinking 'breathing in'.
~Breathing slowly and deeply in and out through the mouth.
~Holding one's breath while optionally squeezing one's stomach.
~Breathing deeply through the nose, then exhaling slowly through the mouth.
~Exhaling all the air from one's lungs and holding one's breath while swallowing water or saliva.
~Blowing up a balloon.
~Breathing into a paper bag or other sealed container. Only attempt this in severe cases of hiccups that have persisted despite other attempts at cures. Perform this sitting or laying down, and with someone at your side to ensure safety. Stop as soon as you begin to feel lightheaded.
~Belching.
~Sneezing
~For babies, hiccups are usually immediately stopped by the suckling reflex, either by breastfeeding or simply by insertion of a finger or bottle teat into the baby's mouth.
~For some, vomiting the contents in one's stomach.
~Burping is also a good method for some, and usually ends the hiccups immediately.
~Saying the ABC's and taking a sip of water for every letter in the alphabet.
~By simply waiting until the hiccups subside.
