TO BELCH OR NOT TO BELCH

Belching can be cute for a toddler but for an adult it can be seen as a mannerless behaviour. You are in a public place; a restaurant or a commercial bus then you drink a bottle of water or the famous pure water and after gulping it down you instantly have this overwhelming desire to belch. How would you do it and still save face?



Here's what I always do: I make a distracting sound or movement and release the air slowly.

I try not to swallow it, because swallowing the air only makes it worse (minutes later it might come out with a full blast!)
