Today, the nine year old girl I was babysitting got the hiccups, so I told her to drink some water upside down to cure them. She ended up vomiting on the floor. FML

Well I guess it made her hiccups go away....

there is no proven cure for hiccups

Pfft speak for yourself. I used to get hiccups all the time when I was little and I figured that I could hold my breath to make them go away. Nowadays I rarely get them so when I do I keep them until they go away on their own.

thats not an official cure tho

You can drink water upright or you can stand upside down. You don't do both at the same time. That's just dangerous

well, did the hiccups stop?

I'd say "**** her life". Poor kid :-/

Unbelievably unsafe suggestion.

You know, drinking water right side up works too...

To get rid of hiccups all you had to do was tell her to prove it. I kid you not it actually works

Drinking water, yeah, but UPSIDE DOWN? WTF is that?!!!
