How to cure hiccups with water

Hiccups can be a serious problem if they last long-term, but are annoying even when they only last a few minutes. Hiccups are a common condition that affects nearly everyone, according to the Mayo Clinic. A common condition should have a common cure. Cure hiccups with a glass of water. The same water that you are supposed to drink eight glasses of each day, can stop this involuntary contraction of the diaphragm before it drives you nuts. Prepare to get wet, and laugh a little, while curing your hiccups.
