Hiccups are caused by spasms of the diaphragmatic muscle http://www.becomehealthynow.com/images/o...
If you get them every time you eat or drink, you may be eating too quickly and therefore swallowing air. If you drink very hot, very cold, or carbonated beverages, these can cause hiccups too.
This is a very good source for information about hiccups: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/hiccups...
The most common remedy is simply to hold your breath and bear down slightly; often that will stop the muscle spasms.
