Our bodies may have adapter lungs. However – Our reptile brain has not forgotten. When we drink too much, it will trigger the alarm.
Never knew that. There is plenty of evidence showing the different stages of evolution in our current anatomy and behaviour.
Interesting, never heard of that. Makes sense though, and feels right!

I still have no explanation to why it helps to be scared to stop hiccups. And I have no idea where to begin to explain.
