    But you just cant think of it?

    Nope, that's what too much drink does to you. I'll get it eventually.

    variation on this, hold your breath and ask yourself 4 questions and answer them in your head. can be something like what's my name 4 times.
    the time you're holding your breath will knock the hiccups on the head. helps if the saliva isn't forthcoming!!

    As a long time barman, I had to cure the hiccups on a regular basis. Something quite similar to what Hogzy said works everytime as well.

    Get a pint of water. Have someone cover both of you ears and begin to drink the water without stopping until you finish the pint.

    The hiccups will be history.
