How to remove br using jquery?

My structure is like this:

<p>something</p>
<br/>
<br/>
<p>ssddfgdfg</p>
<br/>
<br/>
<p>dsdfsfsdfsdfsd</p>
<br/>
<br/>

I want to remove one br tag whenever 2 br tag comes together, like this:

<p>something</p>
<br/>
<p>ssddfgdfg</p>
<br/>
<p>dsdfsfsdfsdfsd</p>
<br/>

How can I achieve this using jQuery?

I am using this code 

 $('br').each(function () 
    {
      if ($(this).next().is('br')) 
      {
        $(this).next().remove();
      }
    }

Another solution,

$('br').prev('br').remove();

Try the immediate sibling selector

$('br + br').remove();

You can try doing

$('br').next('br').remove();

This will remove the second <br/>. There might be a better solution though.

EDIT: As I said other answers were better :)
