Drink a glass of water backwards/opposite as you normally do - you'll spill some in front of you, but it really does work.

I have done this five times in a row successfully to my co-workers. Face the person afflicted with hiccups, look them directly in the eyes, and ask them in a firm, confident voice. "Do you really want to get rid of the hiccups?" When they answer yes, say to them in an equally confident voice, "Ok, your hiccups are gone!" Simple, but highly effective!

If you have it all in one go without water, probably.

I dunno, quick googling produced this:

Most people's blood pressure is not sensitive to salt intake -- 70 to 80 percent of us, by some estimates. The average adult requires only one-quarter teaspoon of salt each day (A), and most people eat ten times more than that (C). Fortunately, for most of us the only known consequence is feeling weaker and more tired than we might otherwise.

So... *shrug*. Not sure how accurate it is, that was a diet website, but not a medical one.

Salt Facts

From: someone

Common salt or sodium chloride is considered by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as safe for its intended use. This GRAS (generally recognized as safe) classification, and the universal use of sodium chloride since antiquity, affirms its safety. The Merck Index refers to sodium chloride as "

n)ot generally considered poisonous." Many substances in everyday use can be toxic in high concentrations, even water. reports Toxic levels of sodium chloride are reported as:

Oral toxicity (The Registry of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances, 1986):

Human; TDLo: 12,357 mg/kg/23 D-C
Mouse; LD50: 4,000 mg/kg
Rat; LD50: 3,000 mg/kg
Rabbit; LDLo: 8,000 mg/kg

Depends on how much you want to believe 'The Salt Institute' on this one.

I made it past #10, which really hurt BTW, then my fiance left me saying I was an idiot for doing all that and she would have kicked me in the nads for free!!

PS> Can you send 50 RL dollars for the doctor bill? I think I twisted my ankle trying to kick myself in the nads.

Thank you!!

PSS> My hiccups are gone!!!!! Woooo Hooooo!!!!

It won't kill you, there is this mexican lime flavored salt stuff I was addicted to as a teen came in like teaspoon size packets, and I have eaten 4 or 5 over the course of an hour before and I made it all the way to 25
