how does one accomplish such a thing ?

I usually do what Sparx suggested and drink some water "backwards". I can also press on the soft palate in the roof of my mouth with a spoon (or my thumb if I'm out without a spoon or water). I have to try not to gag, though...

Put the pencil horizontally between your teeth and bite down - then drink. It's messy at first, but you get the hang of it. Apparently it alters the breathing pattern which stops the hiccups. It's the only thing that has worked consistently for me.

Spoonfull (or packet) of sugar always works for me. I may have to try the peanut butter thing.

Ask yourself or have someone else ask you if you really want those hicups. They'll go away. It works on DD every time and she gets the hicups on a regular basis.

get a glass of water, bend over and drink from the otherside of the glass. (be careful and don't spill!)

I use this too, works for me every time!!! My HS biology teacher taught me this.

Gargle. It always works for me; interrupts the hiccups.

I always drink a glass of water while someone plugs my ears.

I had an Aunt that if she heard us hiccup she would say that if we hiccup one more time she would give us a dollar, it seemed like when you tried to do it you couldn't.

Hope this helps.

Chugging a glass of water while someone is holding your ears.

I don't recommend this method

Hiccups lead to two deaths

A Colombian man accidentally shot his nephew to death while trying to cure his hiccups by pointing a revolver at him to scare him, police in the Caribbean port city of Barranquilla said on Tuesday.

After shooting 21-year-old university student David Galvan in the neck, his uncle, Rafael Vargas, 35, was so distraught he turned the gun on himself and committed suicide, police said.

The incident took place on Sunday night while the two were having drinks with neighbors.

Galvan started to hiccup and Vargas, who works as a security guard, said he would use the home remedy for hiccups of scaring him. He pulled out his gun, pointed it at Galvan and it accidentally went off, witnesses told local television.

Story

Pull on your left ear lobe with your right hand while hopping up and down on your left foot. As you are hopping up and down on your left foot and pulling on your ear lobe with your right hand turn your head as far to the right as it will go and drink a glass of water with a plastic straw (only plastic straws that bend will work). While drinking from the plastic straw with your head turned all the way to the right and your right hand pulling on your left ear lobe as you hop up and down on your left foot put your right foot behind your left knee and continue hopping up and down for 1 minute and 37 seconds. After the 1 minute and 37 seconds eat one jar of Skippy Chunky Peanut Butter and then hold your breath while watching the first fifteen minutes of any news station. Works every time.
