"Hiccups are caused by a muscle spams in your diaphram. You get them when drunk b/c you have less control of your muscles then."
Not 100% true. Hiccups are also caused by an imbalance in the levels of acid and base in your stomach. Too much of one will lead to the muscle spasms as mentioned above. When you drink lots to juice, you will get too much acid. Too much alcohol = too much base. You can fix the issue Very easily. Drink water. Sugar water for me works well. It brings the Ph level in your stomach back to a normal Ph 7 which is in the middle of the Ph scale.
