Drinking a beer before public speaking at work?

Would this help with the anxiety? Or would I need 2?

I feel like one would do it if you drink it close enough to the speech.

When we believe we are drinking alcohol, our brains release a chemical that makes us feel intoxicated like some sort of anticipation for what is about to happen.


Or two and wait twenty.

idk good luck with the speech either way man


what is it about?

I'd say 2-3 worth should be plenty. Helps out during tougher meetings / presentations. Do it like 30-45 minutes before.

Only if it's giving you anxiety though. If it's something you can tolerate or know 99% it'll be OK, then don't.

I also avoid weed before big ones. I feel like it makes me more paranoid during it, even if the effects wore off by that point.

Great idea.

I do a lot of public speaking when I drink beer. People dont want me to for some reason but I feel like I need to do it.
