Surprised no one's mentioned the sure-fire bartender cure for hiccups. I've seen it used dozens of times over the years and it has stopped the person's hiccups within three minutes 95% of the time.
Take one slice of lemon. Douse it with a few shots of bitters. Cover the wedge with a teaspoon or two of sugar. Eat the lemon wedge. Voila! No more hiccups. It works nearly every time (just be sure to keep a bottle of bitters around the house ..... feel free to insert whatever joke you'd like here).
