My college roomate had a sure-fire 90-second hiccup cure.
Hold your breath as deeply as you can for thirty seconds. Then breath SLOWLY in and out as deeply as you can for thirty seconds. Then hold your breath deep again for another 30 seconds. Stay with this process, even if the hiccups stop in the middle.
His theory was, the first 30 seconds gets the diaphragm's attention, the second 30 shows it what it's supposed to be doing, and the last 30 is just for good measure.
