I have a failproof way of getting rid of hiccups for myself, but so far I've been unable to explain it so that someone else can do it.
The whole thing about holding your breath and/or drinking water is on the right track, but it's all about the muscles you're using, not about the actions.
1. Hold your breath.
2. for approximately 10 seconds, act as if you are breathing out, without letting yourself actually breathe out. This is the diaphragm you're using. (A more colorful way to think of it is as if you're straining in the bathroom, but only from the chest up. You don't have to actually strain, so don't overdo it)
3. It should be impossible to hiccup while you are doing this, but if you do end up hiccuping while doing it, try it again.
4. Are you hiccuping? (y/n)
5. Don't cough (if you can) for as long as you can. A lot of times this gets you right back to hiccuping.
