The World's Greatest Hiccup Cure The credit for the world's greatest hiccup cure goes to Tamisu, a former bartender in the Flats of Cleveland, Ohio. For years I was a fan of the lemon and bitters technique. Experience has shown however that it isn't foolproof. The actual biting of a lemon wedge drenched in Angostura bitters is not a pleasant sensation and so the technique qualifies as a shock treatment. The other technique of bending over and drinking out of the far side of a cup of water works well but this method requires some acrobatics which are akin to rubbing one's tummy while patting one's head. The foolproof technique uses the age old teaspoon of sugar. But the magic is in the technique. Tools: Eight ounce glass of water(no ice) Teaspoon or packet of refined sugar Method: Take a deep breath and hold it. Immediately pour the teaspoon of sugar toward the back of the tongue. Try to get it as far back toward the throat as possible without gagging. Remember, you are still holding your breath. Now, before you take a breath drink down the whole glass of water. Wah-lah. No unpleasant taste no acrobatics. Try it. It Works! Though this really has nothing to do with golf, the main topic of this site, a bout of the hiccups during a round is nearly as bad as a case of the yips. A recent occurrence had me yearning for the little white packets at the clubhouse. P.S. You can breath now, hiccup free. back to What's New |
