Do you get hiccups when drinking soda?

Question

why do i get hiccups from drinking soda?

Answer 1

Not usually- but it usually makes me burp really loud

Answer 2

The same thing happens to me.



Well, I remember something in high school about how carbonated drinks have a mixture of CO2 and nitrogen to make the bubbles, and the nitrogen makes you burp more for some reason. (This is all hazy memories though.)



We were taught to blow across the top of a can to get rid of the N+CO2 that had accumulated on top before we took a sip so that we wouldn't breathe it in while drinking. That could explain the first-sip part of your problem; your first sip is when you are taking in the most gas.



The cold thing also has to do with gas: cold liquids hold more gas than hot liquids, so you have more dissolved gas in a cold drink. Then it warms up inside you and releases and you burp it out. I don't know why you are hiccuping and not burping though. Maybe you are hiccuping because you are subconsciously suppressing a burp.

Answer 3

I get the hiccups whenever I finish eating something & it goes on for ages but I can't remember if I do when I drink soda tho

Answer 4

i dont drink soda actually

and hiccups are a sign of dehydration so it would be common to get the hiccups when drinking soda because you're masking your thirst by drinking soda instead of water.

Answer 5

Depends on whether the soda is lukewarm or ice cold

Answer 6

Because you are drinking it too fast. Take it easy, have something to eat with it. I wouldn't use a straw with it either.
