I have severe stage fright and before a class presentation I usually down a couple shots of Tequila. I was wondering if anyone else does this?

Not tequila, but yes I have had a shot or 2. I wouldn't make a habit out of it. Just believe in yourself. Like Granny said, I know I can!! Good luck to you.

I was terrified in oral communications class, until one student gave me courage. They went to the front of the class, notes in hand looked at everyone and said simply, "I can't do it." left the class and never came back. This student was prepared, we talked about our subjects together..it would have been fine, they just had to do it. At this point I knew..anything I mess up, mispronounce, or trip up over will be better than just not doing it.
My school is a bit stodgy..Tequila was not allowed in class.

5 mg Valium (diazepam) = calming + no alcohol breath. Save the tequila for after the presentation celebration.

i say go for it. sometimes it seems like a good idea to take a shot to start off the day (those long ones) lol. anywho, if it helps, take the shot, just don't go for the cheap stuff. actually, i would personally recommend Hennessey instead of tequila. it is especially calming.

Go for it. I used to take beer before class presentations at university, and they actually worked out better than the ones I did sober. It does wonders for your nerves, and if you've already tried it and know that it works for you, there's no reason why you shouldn't try it again (just be careful not to get caught).

Yes, I have in the past for readings. For some reason, I would get so sick to my stomach, drink two beers back to back, vomit and then go about the reading just fine.
I suggest trying to find a better way, though, because eventually it will stop working, especially if you get really anxious.

No , and I would suggest you learn to cope with your freight another way before you wind up doing the shots for everything. Just remember the "the little train that could". I think I can, I think I can, I thinks I can..............I KNOW I CAN!
I 've taught that to my granddaughter since she was about 2 she still uses that philosophy 9 years later.
Good Luck! No alcoholic crutches Please!
