For those of you who keep saying I drink too much..for your information i dont drink at all..I was watching cartoons, and I noticed that usually the characters have hiccups when they drink! Damn! SO JUDGEMENTAL!! But thank you to those who took my question seriously! =)

Hiccups occur when a spasm contracts the diaphragm, a large sheet of muscle that separates the chest cavity from the abdominal cavity. This spasm causes an intake of breath that is suddenly stopped by the closure of the vocal cords (glottis). This closure causes the characteristic "hiccup" sound. A VERY FULL STOMACH can cause bouts of hiccups that go away on their own. A full stomach can be caused by:
Eating too much food too quickly.
Drinking too much alcohol.
Swallowing too much air.
Smoking.
A sudden change in stomach temperature, such as drinking a hot beverage and then a cold beverage.
Emotional stress or excitement

RE:
Why does drinking alcohol give you hiccups sometimes?

When you get the hiccups while drinking, it means that you have had quite enough to drink. If you are drinking on an empty stomach the hiccups mean you will get sick shortly.

The type of sugars in alcohol can do that sometimes.

The alcohol is drying out your throat and your diaphram is convolting to force moisture back into your throat....
Or your a booze hound.
