The concept of hiccups is a serious and also sometimes funny matter.  Some hiccups take hours to subside while some are fairly quick, quick as in minutes.  When it is not you having the issue it tends to bring a few laughs, but when it is you, it feels a bit annoying and if you are with others or at work, it is more of an embarrassing matter.  There are ways to get rid of it or treat it, but the treatment is usually 50/50.  Like drinking water, if you drink one glass, it may or may not work.  But eventually it will, just as other treatments, some suggest eating a teaspoon of sugar.  There are many treatments for hiccups, which is good since some treatments like eating sugar is not much an option to diabetics.

There is a wide variety of reason that can cause hiccups, such as smoking, eating too fast, drinking something of different temperature back to back, drinking alcohol, and many other reasons.  More specific on causes, when eating too fast air can get trapped and causes hiccups, while too much food causes hiccups because of irritations to the diaphragm.  Now there are some causes from much more severe situations, some chronic disorders that involves the brain stem such as brain tumors and/or strokes can cause hiccups as well.  Hiccups are not something to take lightly, always try to listen to what your body tells you.
