get someone to scare you
someone has to scare the hell out of you
stick your finger in a light socket i guarantee you wont hickup again for a least a couple minutes
write a note on the fridge that says when i have the hickups sneak up behind me then punch me in the stomach. no more hickups
holding my breath works for me..just a matter of being able to control your diaphragm
plug your nose and drink water at the same time
there is no cure for the hickups sorry but its the truth
I don't know how to prevent them, but to stop them once they start, drink a glass of water through a paper towel. It REALLY DOES WORK! No one knows why or how, but it does!

hold your breath for a long time
it sounds asinine and silly, but if you bend over so that your torso is parallel to the floor, then drink about 8 oz. of water basically upside down, so it goes over the roof of your mouth, then stand back up VERY slowly the hiccups will usually go away, at least for me they do.
gramma taught me this, but if you are suddenly getting hiccups in the middle of the night that wake you up, you may want to consult a physician; i've never heard of this happening before. it sounds scary; good luck and take care of yourself.
plug your ears, hold you nose and drink a sip of your drink

Drink pickle juice or hold your hands over your head and hold your breath as long as you can.
hold your breath, it always works
you pull your tounge. that always works for me. the other things dont
Eat a teaspoon of sugar. This works for the patrons where I tend bar.
placea match stickk in ur hair, then hold ur breath for 10 sec nd then drink 4 glass of water.
Breath properly, use a bag or something, like as if you were hyperventalating, should work. (hiccoughs by the way is the spelling)
Drink water upside down :)
Hold your breath til you are about to pass out.
I didn't believe this until I tried it shut your eyes and push in on your eyeballs while holding your breath.
If someone around you complains about hiccups tell them you want to hear their hiccups for some strange reason they will stop.

Take a large tsp of sugar and by the time you have swallowed it they are most often gone.

I think you can tell by these answers you have a choice of either drinking water, holding your breath, holding your nose and getting someone to scare the bajesus out of ya. What ever works for you, we have all had the old wife's tales and grandmas advice. Your choice and oh yeah good luck. :-,
