Hiccups are to much air in your lungs, that is why you hold your breathe when you are tryin to get rid of them, and when you yawn that means you have not enough air in your lungs and you are trying to take it in.

IM LIKE A FREAKIN SCIENCE WIZZARD~!

Of course a sure fire way to get rid of the hiccups is 'celebrating'

take 3 large gulps of water w/o breathing - that should work...
either that or take a spoonful of sugar!
Good Luck!

Take a spoonful of sugar
-or-
Throw a match in a cup of water and then stare at the match while you drink down the whole cup without stopping.
Either one of these usually work.

I usually get the hiccups just when I am ready to go to sleep.

my 4th grade teacher taught me this and it works EVERY SINGLE time.
Take NINE gulps of water (not 8, not 10). They don't have to be big gulps, small works, but you can't stop in the middle.
It sounds weird but it has worked for 15 years for me

*runs in to room screaming, I'm cured, I'm cured* and I did nothing, I did not get the chance to try anything* But I feel another one coming on, I hate these. I heard that someone died from hiccups is this possible
