shooi is right. I saw someone do this years and years ago and it stopped his hiccups instantly. He put a paper towel over the cup and drank the water through it. Since you don't have matches in your house, use the lighter to light something small, like a piece of paper, and throw that into the glass. Good luck getting rid of those pesky hiccups.

try inhaling and exhaling very slow whilst standing up straight leaning up against a wall. it works every time for me, you are expanding your wind pipes by standing erect and working your mussels slowly by inhailing and exhailing slowly

This is weird but it works every time for me. I drink water by bending over and drinking from the far side of the glass so the water runs down the wrong side of the throat. Works every time.
