Hindsight is 20 20, and looking back, that probably was one of the most stupidest ideas I've ever had. I will definately take y'alls advice and go in there the way I should. Thanks for the flaming to knock some good sense in me!lol

xanax, take it 1-2 hours before the interview because thats how long it takes to build up peak levels in the blood.
i find that being drugged up a bit makes me more relaxed and therefore less prone to doing stupid, or making an ass of myself. Think about it, are you going to feel more in control and appear more professional if you're pacing, twitching, stumbling for words, condemning yourself under your breath, etc or if you are mildly indifferent and numb?
I had a test on monday, and normally i am shaking but i took some xanax 2 hours before. i was calm during the test and i did better (89% this time, got an 83% last time). i dont know if the xanax helped or not but in the end i preferred to not be in the middle of a fight or flight response while trying to do something cognitive.
And in case anyone accuses me of blindly supporting the unpopular decision, i am not. I just find that in my experience being numb makes me more able to cognitively function under stress.
Just don't get tooooo numb. Then you're fucked.

First of all, a lot of companies see your drinking before an interview as a positive. Rolling up a spliff and passing it around will get you hired on the spot.

Don't be too hard on yourself. I've seriously considered doing this myself. There are some strong motivations for it in some of us. However, it's simply something we're better off learning to do without drugs.Gettinbig2 said:

I second this. Xanax like having a few beers minus the slurred speach and foggy head.
If you are too up-tight, you will not be able to look your interviewer in the eye when you talk.. you will not come across as confident and you may get walked on...
Trust me.. Xanex.. Take 0.5mg once a few days before your interview so you can see how it feels and when it comes on. I recomend throwing it under your tounge or in your lip like Copenhagen. Trust me, your mind will be able to function much better on Xanax than alcohol.. You will appear more confident.. it will benefit you.
