    Hold your breath; plug your nose; and contract your tummy /rib cage muscles like you are trying to push. Always works for me.

    Bitters on a slice of lime. A Las Vegas bartender showed me this one.

    I heard that you get hiccups because your breathing is out of sync or your diaphragm is out of sync with your breathing or I don't know, something along those lines.

    My music teacher (who should know about such things, I guess) said to suck in as much air as you can and hold your breath as long as you can and then let it all out and hold it as long as you can.  Sometimes it works for me, sometimes it doesn't.  Coughing also sometimes works for me.
