A member asked:
I used to be a singer but about a year ago it started to hurt to sing, but if i drink any straight spirits (rum, vodka or whiskey) i can sing no pain?

Don't hydrate: Singers experience dehydration of the vocal cords. Alcohol will make this worse. You are better off hydrating with water. The alcohol may seem to work better because it is diminishing your inhibitions to sing.
