Hiccups can occur when drinking alcohol due to the irritation of the diaphragm, the muscle that helps control breathing. Alcohol can also lead to increased production of stomach acid and bloating, which may further stimulate the diaphragm. Additionally, drinking quickly or consuming Carbonated Beverages can introduce air into the stomach, contributing to hiccups. Overall, these factors can disrupt the normal rhythmic contractions of the diaphragm, resulting in hiccups.
