Hiccups after meals: Hiccups may result from a large meal, alcoholic beverages, or sudden excitement. In some cases, hiccups may be a sign of an underlying medical condition. For most people, a bout of hiccups usually lasts only a few minutes. See your primary care provider if they persist longer. http://www.webmd.com/digestive-disorders/tc/hiccups-topic-overview
