The cause and function of hiccups has baffled medical practitioners since the time of Hippocrates. Although no one has figured out the exact science behind these "abrupt diaphragmatic contractions," we have come up with a few home remedies that might be able to help.
Steps:
1. Swallow 1 tsp. white table sugar, dry. A study found that this stopped hiccups immediately in 19 out of 20 people. Repeat up to three more times at 2-minute intervals if necessary.
2. Gulp down a glass of water if the sugar doesn't work.
3. Eat a piece of dry bread slowly.
4. Breathe in and out of a paper bag. Do not use a plastic bag under any circumstances, and don't do this longer than 1 minute.
5. Gargle with water (see 'How to Gargle').
6. Repeat the above steps until your hiccups stop.
Tips:
Keep in mind that hiccups can be caused by eating too fast and subsequently swallowing a lot of air or drinking too much alcohol.
Warnings:
See a doctor if you have severe pain, if your hiccups last longer than a day (or 3 hours in the case of a small child), or if they started after you took a prescription medication.

Personally I do the hold your breath for 20 seconds method but some people say that it doesnt always work for other people. My fifth grade teacher told me to alway get a class of water and drink little sips start at 1000 and got to 1010 and that always worked too and it seemed to work on everybody.

get a glass of water or bottle of water take a deep breath in and take 10 little sips of water. then exhale and they should be gone. This is the only thing that works for me.

A single dose of Thorazine if it persists long enough to be a serious problem.
