Alcohol before interviews Anyone else take a few shots before interviews? Alcohol really helps with getting the words out and also mitigates the severe anxiety that I usually get just before an interview. This is especially useful for telephone/Skype interviews. Anyone know if there's any research behind why alcohol reduces the stutter? Or are the improvements in fluency only because of the reduction in anxiety?
