A shot or two of liquid courage doesn’t hurt either. Though beyond that you risk exceeding the Balmer peak.

Don't drink coffee before going on stage. At least when you're old like me.

I don't think I'm alone in finding it quite suspect if people walk around smelling of "liquid courage" in professional settings.
