I just hold my breath however long I can and how many times it takes to get rid of the hiccups.

When I'm work, I can't do anything about it...so I just ignore it. But I can't really afford to have a hiccup at work, I'm a call center agent, and talking is one major factor in our work! lol

I have tried to take sugar when I have hiccups, and it did work for me. However, depending on the situation one may not have any sugar or sweets available. Other remedies which I know of are drinking water, keeping your breath or else breathing inside a bag. But I haven't tried the last one yet.
