Helpful Hint Thursday

I've been inspired by Acumamakiki and an incident that took place this evening to do a Helpful Hint Thursday post. I realize that Thursday is almost over, but it isn't quite yet! My hint is a cure for hiccups that my mother claims to have invented. For years I thought my grandmother had invented this, but I recently talked to my mom about it and she claims authorship. Here's the hint: when you have the hiccups, go into the bathroom with a beverage and drink while you are peeing. I usually use water, but it works with beer too. I don't know how this works, but it has almost always done the trick for me. Tonight Holli got a case of the hiccups (probably too much 'root' beer) so I told her about this cure. She tried it - no more hiccups! I'd be curious to know if this works for anyone else out there.
