J asked:


Is it bad to drink just a small amount, not enough to get drunk, before an important university presentation, to relax your mind?
What do you think?

    I think that’s absolutely fine. Calms you down a bit. Just make sure you have a mint so people don’t smell it on you. :)

    I wouldn’t do it. You could accidentally take too much and be drunk and make a fool of yourself.

    it really depends on how it reacts with your system. If it makes a fool of you then its obvious. Otherwise it might make you brave and allow you to express yourself more boldly.

    You want to avoid AOB (alcohol on breath). Get your doctor to prescribe propranolol 20 or 40 mg. Take 1/2 hour before the presentation. It’s safe and works great.

    It’s a slippery slope that can earn you a reputation you don’t want.

    I think you want to be inhibited.Taking the vodka means you have no confidence in what you want to say.In nations where alcohol is prohibited you will not be able to make a speech…be confident and know your facts..do not be dependent on alcohol to be brave…
