Hiccups. What's the longest you've been cursed with them? What's your cure?

I seriously had them for 4 hours last night. Normally I can fix 'em by drinking from the wrong side of the glass. ie: sipping water whilst bending over. I even had my wife randomly punch me in the gut several times when I wasn't expecting it. Nothing worked until I eventually said "fuck it" and took a whole xanny bar to knock my ass out.
I couldn't imagine being one of those poor souls that get the hiccups for years on end.......I'd probably kill myself.

Taking a deep breath and holding it as long as I can seems to help me.

Take a deep breath hold it in and while doing so take both your thumbs and plug your nose while plugging your ears with your index fingers. It sounds weird I know but it works. I dont know if it has to do with the distraction or how you focus yout body on that rather than hiccups but it works for sure. My ex girlfriends mother from Vietnam told me one day and I do it every time I get hiccups.
Also you mentioned eating a xanax. If you were eating benzos a lot that day it can relax your diaphragm which can result in getting hiccups as well.

No, I save my xanax for legitimate panic attacks or 3-4 days of insomnia.
My wife told me that nose/ ear plug thing last night as well. It was the first time I'd heard that voodoo. I tried but to no avail.
Weird. I'm 35 years old and I'd seriously never heard of that remedy until last night and just now.

Ketchup, vinegar, hold breath, upside down, drink water, and get punched in the gut all at the same time should work

Serious: 'a spoonful of honey makes the hiccups go down' - it doesn't work for me every time but more than could be attributed to coincidence.

get a cup of water and drink from it from the FAR SIDE of the cup. you'll have to bend over a bit to do it, just make sure it doesnt pour all over your face and you will be cured. this works for me 100% of the time.

Yeah, as I mentioned at first , that's my go-to. Drink from the wrong side of the cup. My grandpa taught me that when I was maybe 10 and it works 99% of the time.
My belly feels like I did 1,000 sit-ups yesterday. I don't know if it's from all the diaphragm spasms or my old lady punching me in the gut.

I've had three episodes ov hiccups lasting 3-4 days during heavy alcohol binges. The last two times i was in the hospital to treat them along with esophageal damage and they were treated with thorazine and reglan(temporarily effective the first time, but not the second). I was also scripted baclofen to help them after the last episode, which eventually worked, but i did not like the side effects. Not being able to fall asleep due to hiccups and wondering in loops how bad i fucked my body up this time around is not a happy time.
