I have a presentation coming up with 4 other people in my group, and half of them are taking a couple of shots before out presentation/skit which is 30 minutes long. Iam really really nervous about this and considering doing the same. Has anyone ever done this and if so what kind did u take. Im just going to take one, I dont want to be that buzzed while doing it.

I would think you may be on your way to a problem with alcohol if you need to do a shot or two before this. You sure don't want to get in the habit of using alcohol everytime you have to do something that makes you nervous. Won't you feel better doing your best and when you're done knowing you accomplished it on your own.

I think a shot of Hpnotiq or some Cognac would be a good way to calm you for the presentation.
My advice though is that you should probably try whatever drink you are going to have way before the presentation to see the effects it has on you. This way you'll know if it's too strong or not and won't have any embarrassing problems when the actual presentation comes.
Good luck on your presentation and cheers...

You can over come your fear of talking before a group of people,by picking one face in the crowd and just act like you are having a private conversation.Then you,ll start getting comfortable with it.No I wouldn't get in the habit of using something mood altering to give you courage ,especially if it is work or school related.That could be grounds for dismissal.

I hope you mean a shot of alcohol, that is fine, then make a clear drink that you can have in your water glass so that you can stay fortified during your presentation. Just find a non-drinker to give you a ride home.

That depends what you're like when you get drunk...when I have a drink I just get really giggly so that wouldn't work for me! But if you find a shot relaxes you....why not? Good Luck anyway.x

Yeah done it at Uni and done it at work, chilled me right out had a couple of beers for uni and work ones i have a cheeky whiskey, easier to hide the smell of that than beer.

It probably wouldn't hurt - as long as you don't make it a habit.
