A member asked:
Why do i hiccup during and right after i drink alcohol?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
We believe: That hiccups are caused by expansion of the stomach, movement of stomach acid and/or irritation of the phrenic nerve which controls the movement of the diaphragm. Alcohol can do all 3!
