I know this sound weird but it works about 90% of the time...all parts must be done in the right order:
1)Get a glass of water
2)Stand up straight, shoulders back..head up
3)Take in a deep breath and hold it
4)While holding your breath, take in a mouthful of water
5)Turn your head to the left
6) Swallow
7)Release your breath
If that doesn't work..try a spoonful of sugar, or drinking from the opposite side of the glass...by putting your chin in the glass and tipping forward to sip from it.

Get to the clear area and breath in and out slowly then drink some warm water.

see all these different cures? exactly. i learned this when i was...19. just tell yourself ''no.'' with all the will power you can muster. no, not out loud. :p just in your mind. assert the fact that you don't get hiccups. you must believe what you are telling yourself. i never hiccuped more than twice in any ''hiccup fit'' since that discovery. also works for sneezes.
it's like in the movie dumbo. remember how he thought he needed the feather? all those other ''cures'' are the feather. dumbo didn't need the feather to fly, and you don't need those ''cures'' to stop the hiccups ;-)

Hold your breath.
Drink a glass of water quickly.
Become frightened.
Use smelling salts.
Pull hard on your tongue.
Place one-half teaspoon of dry sugar on the back of your tongue.

Drink/down a glass of water whilst holding your breath. This always works for me.

get a cup of water and a straw, plug your ears while slowly drinking through the straw for about 5 sec.
Try it! It works for me every time... don't ask why...maybe a "pressure" thing?

leaning over so your about to look between your legs then drink several swallows of water from the side of the glass furthest from your mouth. kind of weird, difficult but it works every time for me.

Get a glass of not too cold water, and take 10 gulps all in a row. This has NEVER failed me.
