Pour a tall glass of water.
Hold your breath.
Pinch your nose closed.
Slowly, take 10-20 swallows of the water while holding your breath with your nose pinched closed.
For stubborn cases, try exhaling completely and then taking 10-20 swallows.
When you can't stand it anymore (you'll know by that overwhelming drowning sensation) after a gasp, take a deep breath and relax.

Fill a glass to the brim with room temperature water.
Slowly drink the entire glass of water by taking very small quick sips. Don't chug the water and do not remove the glass from your mouth. You should be continously swallowing small sips of water.
Once you finish the water take long slow breaths and try to relax. Your hiccups should be gone!

Have 1-cup of water.
Place a paper towel over it.
Drink through the paper towel until there is a hole.
Re-arrange the papertowel.
Continue until water is gone.
You are cured!

Lay down on your stomach, get comfortable.
SLOWLY breathe in until you feel like you can't inhale any longer, trying to get a feel for extending the breathe down towards your abdomen.
Exhale slooowly until your lungs are empty.
Repeat 3-4 times or until you feel better. Its a great relaxation exercise too!

Get a glass of water.
Fill mouth with water, but do not swallow.
Plug your nose, tilt head back and take deep breath.
Count to ten.
While holding your nose and while head is tilted back, swallow.

Fill to the brim a glass of water.
With your thumbs, plug your ears.
With your index fingers, plug your nostrils (squeeze to close)
With both ears and nostrils plugged, use your remaining free fingers to grasp the glass and raise it to your mouth.
Drink the entire glass of water without releasing ears or nostrils.
YOU MUST FINISH THE ENTIRE GLASS OF WATER without releasing ears or nostrils!
Once empty, gently place the glass on the table and SLOWLY unplug ears and nostrils and take a first breath.
Hiccups are gone!
IMPORTANT: PLEASE AVOID ATTEMPTING THIS CURE IN THE PRESENCE OF people who will make fun of you and try to make you laugh. DO IT ALONE THE FIRST TIMES and you'll soon be able to suggest it to your friends and other "unbelievers".

Have someone cover your ears with their hands, applying pressure, but not enough to cause pain.
Drink a glass of water normally. This works great!

Get a bottle of water (Dasani, Evian, Wal-Mart, whatever brand suits you).
Instead of drinking normally, drink with your bottom lip in the lower portion of the opening and your top lip over the top. You develop a "vacuum" to to keep from spilling or pouring it down your shirt. It doesn't take much - just a sip or two. This works every time and quickly!

Fill two tall 12 oz. glasses with cool water and set them on a table in front of you. The second glass is for just in case you finish the first one, if you # really need it.
Close your eyes and settle yourself. Confidence and positive thinking is important here, so chill out and loosen up.
Pick up the first glass and wait for a hiccup. Just after it hits, begin drinking slowly, steadily and continuously until the glass is empty.
Try not to think about hiccuping as you set down the empty glass. Hopefully you'll have interrupted the rhythm of the hiccups, but if not then you'll have to go to the second glass.
Drink the second glass of water, slow and steadily, and do your best to remain calm and relaxed. By the time you've finished, the hiccups should be gone.

Fill a glass with cool drinking water.
Get a clean paper towel. (If you have no paper towels, a thin cloth will work too.)
Cover the top of the glass with the paper towel. Fold down the edges of the paper towel to completely wrap the top of the glass. Hold the paper towel in place by grasping the glass in your hand.
Drink a sip of water through the paper towel.
One sip is often enough; if not, take a few more sips

Fill a drinking glass with room temperature water.
With glass in hand, bend over at your waist.
Place your lips on the side of the glass opposite that from which you would normally drink. Your bottom lip should be above the lip of the glass where your top lip normally is and your top lip should be against the side of the glass against the edge where your bottom lip normally is.
Carefully tip the glass away from you and into your mouth.
Swallow and repeat. Your hiccups should be gone.

Fill a drinking glass with room temperature water.
Take a deep breath.
Exhale all of your air (without breathing any back in).
Push out a little more air - there will be some!
Take a sip of water.
Breathe in a little through the nose.
Drink some more water.
Repeat steps 6 and 7 until you can't breathe in anymore.
Finish the glass of water on your last sip.
Breathe in a little bit more.
Hold your breath as long as you can.
Exhale.
Breathe a sigh of relief--your hiccups are gone!

Inhale and exhale 1 time slowly. As you exhale, push as much air out as possible (until your body forces you to inhale again).
Inhale deeply.
Hold your breath and your nose for 40 seconds.
Exhale slowly.

Eat a large teaspoon of white sugar or pour a packet of sugar into your mouth.
Chew it slowly, but do not let it dissolve. Or in many cases, just trying to swallow a teaspoon of sugar will work.

Take a few deep breaths, holding the last one.
Take a mouthful of water, and hold it in your mouth, without swallowing, for 20 seconds.
Add a pinch of real sugar, and again hold without swallowing for 15 seconds. If the sugar has not dissolved, hold it until it does.
Swallow.
Take one more deep breath. Your hiccups should be gone.

Swallow some air until you burp.
Burp.
Repeat until hiccups are gone.

Put one teaspoon of mustard in your mouth upside-down.
Close your mouth.
Slide the spoon out.
Repeat if necessary.

Lie down on the couch with your head on a small pillow.
Close your eyes.
Take your index fingers and press on your closed eyes for several seconds while breathing deeply.
When your hiccups are gone, remove your fingers and relax for a minute or two.

Obtain some lemon juice. Use the "RealLemon" kind or any other 100% lemon juice. Using a lemon flavored beverage (lemonade) will not work.
Fill a shot glass full or 1-2 ounces in a regular glass.
Drink it all at one time. It may be tart but it's not that bad.

Pour a glass of any beverage and place it in front of you.
Wait for a hiccup to come.
Once you hiccup, drink the beverage while looking up. Don't look down until you've emptied the glass.

Stick your whole tongue on your upper lip or the tip of your tongue on your upper lip.
Focus on your tongue and breathing slow.
If that doesn't work, put the tip of your tongue on the roof of your mouth (also cures brain freeze).

Not always effective, but hold your breath for 15-20 seconds.
Swallow 3 times while holding your breath.
If you feel as if it is not going to work, try again, after all, 3 times is the charm.

Get a good-sized spoonful of peanut butter.
Swallow the whole spoonful immediately, don't chew it or get it all slobbery.

Have a friend turn and stare at you and command you to hiccup. This works better if your friend knows to do this without needing you to ask. Tell them to wait until you are not expecting it, if possible.
If you are a teacher and a student is hiccuping, take the student to the front of the room and make them hold a piece of rolled up paper to his or her ear and tell them to take ten deep breaths.
Have someone startle/scare you to the point that you gasp without meaning to do so.
Do something that takes all of your thinking -- like solving a difficult math problem.
Think about what you had for dinner the day before, then the day before that and so on. Don't give up, keep thinking.
Pick out a minute detail on an object about 2 feet from you (a speck of dirt on a coffee table, a letter from a single button on the remote control). You will stare at this very small area while you concentrate on your breathing. Breathe very slowly, yet regular. Don't take huge breaths or anything like that, just breath slow and regular. Do not divert your attention to anything else other than what you are staring at. By doing this, you are taking away your acknowledgment that you have the hiccups. You are putting your attention on something else. After approximately 2 minutes of staring at this object (don't worry, you can blink) and concentrating on your breathing, your hiccups will be gone.

Lay flat on your stomach (as flat as possible, even if you have to put your face to the ground).
Hold your breath and try to swallow as many times as possible.

Apply pressure on the indent between your upper lip and nose. Continue the pressure for 30 seconds, and your hiccups should disappear.

Put a bag around your mouth so that when you breath from your mouth, the bag will capture the air. Don't cover your nose.
Take deep breaths and exhalations through your mouth from the bag. No fresh air!
Keep repeating this process. The hiccups should vanish within 8-10 long breaths (if it doesn't work by this time, try another method).

Calm down, and focus on breathing.
Try counting your hiccups, or the number of time in between hiccups.
Wait until they stop.

Count amount of time between hiccups.
Around the time a hiccup should be coming up, or when you feel it coming up COUGH, loudly!
Repeat 3 or 4 times.

Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, knees bent, arms relaxed.
Close your eyes, and become aware of subtle forces on your body.
Allow your body to sway with the forces, arms floating and drifting.
5-10 seconds are usually enough. Watching someone else do it also works.

Get a tablespoon (sometimes a tea spoon will work) and fill it with vinegar.
Directly after a hiccup swallow it.
This should shock you and get rid of the hiccups.

Consider that Phil Ehlinger, Jr. reportedly discovered that he could cure the hiccups by use of natural galvanic action to create a bio-electric stimulation that instantly stops the distressing spasms. The sub-sensory treatment “re-sets‿ the causal Vagus and Phrenetic nerves to interrupt the Hiccup Reflex Arc. Ehlinger was awarded a United States Patent (#7,062,320) for a "Device for the Treatment of Hiccup" on June 13, 2006 after 3 years and several reviews. Ehlinger has formed a corporation and plans to release the device in 2006.

Stare into someone's eyes for a minute or two, and your hiccups should go away. They have to be staring back.

Fill a glass up with room temperature water.
Hold a pencil horizontally with your lips, keeping your mouth slightly open.
Drink the water with the pencil in your mouth. The air will flow differently into your mouth, causing the hiccups to stop.

Hold both hands in front of you and clench hands as if you're a tiger or bear about to attack.
Hold for about 10 seconds, hiccups will be gone. It helps to imagine you're holding on to a tree branch with both hands as tightly as you can.

Ask the patient to look you in the eye.
Tell them "The next time you hiccup, I will go into the kitchen and get you a glass of water to drink."

Fill a container with cold tap water.
Pour it on your head. Repeat if necessary.

The beauty of this method is that it requires no gadgets, cups of water, or anything other than breathing correctly. Nor does it require heavy breathing. On the contrary. It works by removing the irritating gap between the inspiration and the expiration, thus creating a continuous flow of slow-moving breath.
Imagine breathing in a figure-8. As the outbreath reaches the end, slow the breath and twist it around so that it becomes the inbreath. Then simply create a figure-8 of continuous breath. The hiccups will subside almost immediately. It usually works within 10 cycles. Most of the time less.

Place your thumbs on the little flap in front of the ear canal (called the tragus) and press inward, closing the canal.
Close your nose with your pinkies.
Close your eyes, then take a deep breath and hold it as long as possible.
Try and breathe normally after coming out of the exercise. The natural reaction is to breathe hard or pant.

Gargle warm salt water for 30 seconds
Perform a handstand next to a wall (to prevent falling over)
Recite the alphabet backwards, while retaining a small amount of gargle-water in your mouth.
Enjoy hiccup-free condition.

As soon as you start to hiccup, disengage from any conversation. It'll only take a minute but you need to stop talking.
Relax. Sit up fairly straight, with a straight neck, chin up a little to allow easy breathing.
Close your eyes and breathe deeply and calmly, perhaps in a semi-meditation.
Visualise an unblocked and clear airway. This helps to relax your esophagus (the tube in your throat that you breathe down).
Breathe like this until you feel completely relaxed. At some point you'll notice you've stopped hiccuping.

Have someone point at you with their index finger.
Have them move it slowly in one direction, stop for a second after a few seconds, and then do the same thing again in another direction.
Focus on the tip of their finger. The hiccups should go away after ten or fifteen seconds.
You can do this with your own finger, but it doesn't work as well.

Find a straight back chair and sit down with your back fully pressed to the back of the chair.
Slowly bend over in the tuck position with your arms crossed over your body - the same way you would bend over when an airline stewardess instructs you to take when they say get in the crash position. Do this until you feel slightly uncomfortable.
Slowly squeeze your arms and try to squeeze your body and hold your breath for 5-10 seconds and release.
Stay in the same position but relax then repeat this procedure again for at least 2 to 3 times again. Then slowly sit back up. This should have cured the problem the first time but if not try this again.

Once you begin to hiccup, simple think "No More Hiccups"
If another hiccup occurs, think the command to yourself once more, and send a "Mental Command" to your diaphragm.
Try this several times, until your hiccups subside, and do this every time you receive hiccups.
This method can take up to 10 cases of hiccups to work.
