I'm hoping some of you good people can help. Next weekend I have a gig that involves two 45 minute sets. I will be singing alone, but for two songs, unamplified in a barn. Having had a run through tonight I'm wondering if there are any tips I can follow for avoiding a sore throat during the gig. I'm aware that I'm likely to get back "What ever you do, don't drink any alcohol...". Very sound advice. However, just for interests sake, if I were to drink alcohol what would do least damage? Anyone recommend a throat spray? Sweet?

Any ideas welcomed.
