Drink water upside down. Seriously. I do it with a beer when I get them. Pour some water into a cup. Bend at the waist to a 45 degree angle and drink the water from the opposite side of the cup. This works because hiccups are all about the diapragm. When you are bent, your diapragm in less compact and more vulnerable. The water and air intake should clear them up.

This is a fun question! I can just imagine you trying all of these answers :)

A hiccup is the result of an involuntary spasm of the diaphragm. You could just patiently wait until the spasms subside, or you could try any of these remedies I copied for the source below:

eat and quickly swallow a few teaspoons of granulated sugar is always working
putting fingers in throat, or ears
standing on head
someone jumps out and scare you when you're not expecting it - a famous treatment
taking a sip of water every 4 seconds
holding breath and counting to 10
breathing deeply
trying to swallow hiccups
massaging the bottom throat between the collar bone or under both collar bones
drink as fast as possible
putting sugar on tongue
hold chocolate on your tongue
bending over and drinking from the opposite side of a glass

From personal experience, I've found that holding your breath for as long as possible, and then drinking a large glass of water without stopping (except to breath, mind you) is a pretty successful cure.

Good luck!

Stick your fingers in your ears and have someone help you drink a cup of water. Works most of the time.

This happens to me all the time. Get a glass of water and drink it non stop. Then your hiccups are cured. Bye bye Stay Up

Either have someone sneak up and scare you (it works!), or drink a gulp of water after eating a teaspoon of sugar.

I know it sounds wierd but it works, hold your breath, put your head down to the ground, and as you are holding your breath try to swallow. (But not that kind of way.) Good Luck!
