I know it sounds bullshit, but I haven’t had a long hiccup session (read: longer than ~4-5 hiccups) in more than a decade, possibly two: I chill the fuck out.
The instant it starts I take a deep breath, relax my esophagus/larynx/whatever, and put myself in the most Zen Buddha state of mind I can. I keep taking long, relaxed breaths. If another hiccup slips through I still remain a ketamine sloth, believing that it’s just the one or few passing hiccup.
Most of the time I don’t get a second (third) one. It’s over in a matter of a few seconds.

There are two other types also. Those that want to be and those who want to have been.
The former love the work. The latter don’t want to put in the effort and want all the glory.
