When drinking before you have to speak:
- Moderation - drink a balanced amount
- Avoid the new - stay away from any drink you have never had before, since it might cause an unexpected reaction
- Avoid dairy - dairy can clog up your throat
- Drink water - drink some water to make sure your throat is moist and have a bottle of water conveniently placed onstage for your use
