I get hiccups all the time--at least once a day, almost everytime I laugh. Holding my breath works very well for me. For really bad hiccups, take a breath, count to ten, drag in some more air, count to ten again, and then let it out as slow as you can.
Gulping the biggest glass of water you can find is good, too.
I've had the hiccups so much, that these days I can mentally relax my diaphragm without too much effort, but it takes practice to be able to do that.

Sometimes there isn't a way. 0.o
There are people who get hiccups for life.

Any other ways of getting rid of regular hiccups are just said so your friends can laugh at you.
You could try drinking from the opposite side of the glass.

this may sound odd but it works for me....
take a mouth full of water, tip your head back, hold your arms straight up above your head then swallow the water. You look silly for a few seconds but its better than being stuck with the hiccups if it works!
