I've seen some crazy things... paper bags, peanut butter, holding breath, water, etc.
How do you do it?

Hiccups are a sign of weakness and I never get them.

I know you're drinking tonight because I talked to you on AIM, so here's my suggestion:
I usually get hiccups when I have heartburn while drinking. Best resolution? Vomit. That'll fix it. Don't drink any more though. Just go to bed
Regular hiccups: Paper bag tends to work for me. As does holding my breath until I feel like I'm about to die. For some reason, low oxygen content in the blood tends to fix things.

Two ways:
1: Breathe. Steady, deep, rhythmic, and natural. Just focus very intently on your breathing, and not hiccuping. Sounds crazy, but it works. Very Deep, slow, breaths are key. And by deep, I mean breathing from the bottom of your stomach, not the chest.
2. Hold your breath. The steady rhythmic breathing beforehand helps. If you feel like you are about to hiccup, swallow. Keep holding it until you need to breathe.
Either of these works for me 100% of the time.

Someone has to scare the crap out of me. Ever try to smoke while having the hiccups? You always hiccup while inhaling. Try it.

The only time I was ever cured of the hiccups was by an ex girlfriend. We were cruising around getting stoned and I couldn't stop hiccuping. After a minute or two she turned to me and said "try as hard as you can to hiccup". I couldn't fucking do it! Holding my breath doesn't work for me. Unexpected shit like I mentioned works best, you should try that on somebody sometime, but they can't be expecting it.

When I was a kid, my mom's cure was to make me swallow a tea-spoon of vinegar. For real. It sucked.... but the reflext to keep from gagging seemed to suppress the hiccups, too. I haven't tried it as an adult, but I'll probably try it on my kids some day.

For some reason (and I have no idea where i got this from) if you take a mouthfull of watter and bend over so your head is below your stomach and swallow the water it gets rid of hiccups. I have no idea where the fuck I got that but I always worked for me.

I can usually hold my breath for consistent long periods of time and they will, eventually, go away.

Holding my breath usually works, though I rarely get hiccups anymore. When holding my breath doesn't work, I swallow a heaping teaspoon of sugar. Works every time.

Yeah, I've tried the holding breath method. It used to work for me, but now nothing seems to work.
When I hold my breath, I just hiccup when I inhale and it doesn't work.

If by chance I hiccup whlie inhaling, it usually makes me burp, but I still keep on inhaling, after the burp.

Take a deep breath, exhale, neck at least half a pint of water (without breathing) then breathe very lightly for a minute. Problem solved, every time.
