OMG is ANYTHING worse than the hiccups? Seriously I'd rather have D. Not to get too personal, but I always have the hiccups in the middle of my cycle, when I'm ovulating. It even still happens now that I'm on the Pill, which I think is so weird. Same for my mom, too. Anyway I used to get the hiccups a TON when I was kid ... literally almost every day of middle school (probably some weird puberty thing since that time's not awkward enough), and my dad would always make me try his special cure. He takes a wedge of lemon and tops it with a spoonful of sugar and some bitters (I think Angastora is the name on the bottle -- Dad used to be a bartender / bar owner so we always had weird stuff in the house). Anyway it generally worked on the first or second try, so if you have bitters in the house, try it.
I've also heard that drinking water from a glass by putting your mouth on the far side of the rim and bending forward to drink it is supposed to work. Oh also taking 3 deep breaths and holding the third one, but that one never works for me.
Good luck -- hiccups are really the worst.
