Punch yourself repeatedly in the stomach until you either black out from pain, or your arm gets tired. Either way will force your brain to focus on something else, and in the case of passing out, you get to sleep until your hiccups are gone. . They are quite unpleasant.

Put your fingers in your ears, plug your nose and swallow 3 times. If it dosen't work I don't know what to tell ya.

what i always do is that i plug my ears, then somehow drink water at the same! Maybe ask someone to feed you the water, or put the water inyour mouth, then plug your ears, and swallow.

this has worked for me and my kids for 15 years now EVERY TIME.... . You have someone plug your ears while you guzzle water. Keep swallowing for about 5 good chugs. If you are alone, you can plug your own ears and drink thru a straw. . Trust me, once you try this you will never need another cure.
