Ok, this is going to sound like I'm trying to bait you...but I swear I'm not.
Fill a glass about half full of water. Rather than drinking it as you normally would, drink from the opposite side, forcing yourself to bend over. Hiccups are caused by a "glitch" in how your brain communicates with your diaphragm as to how you're breathing. For whatever reason, this particular cure is a surefire way for me to get rid of my hiccups. I think it causes my brain to think about something other than the hiccups...thereby "reseting" it to a certain extent.

Last time I got them I just really concentrated on my breathing after holding my breath and whatnot didn't work. They were gone in a couple of minutes

It can be tough, but it can be done. This will cause you to "belch out" the hiccup, but it works for me every single time.

I'm not shitting you, this does it for me every time:
Bend over and take 10 DEEP breaths, on the last one hold it in.
While holding your breath in, have somebody chop on your back (like is done during a message, but maybe a little harder).
Hold your breath as long as you can...when you exhale, sweet relief should be there for you.

Best method is just to hold your breath until you feel you may pass out but the key here is to keep holding it even after that until you feel you are on the brink of death....and then breathe and you will be fine. The sugar method worked for me back when I was an innocent teenager. I wised up and stopped drinking the MD 20/20 and Boone's Farm Strawberry Hill. That helped more with the puking than the hiccups but it's worth a mention. The upside down drinking has never worked for me but I did try on serveral occassions. I was a gamer/gamette way back in the day. Good Lord Bender I hope you've found a cure by now. Let us know.
