I used to dread singing - all those things I had to do to insure my voice was up to par, which rarely happened anyway. Yuck... I gave it up and worked on my chops. No regrets.

I used to never drink at all but now I regularly have a healthy glass of wine before my last set, as both a reward to myself and a social gesture. And champagne on NYE. Otherwise it's ice water all the way (instead of the room-temperature tap water I had to drink when I sang - blecchh).
